This week I went to the Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge again, after a 5-month hiatus. Greenhead flies were already out and I had to keep my car windows closed, except for brief moments to take a photo. Shots taken through the windows turned out badly. Here are some better ones taken with the window quickly open.
Since I was inside the car and not wearing a mask, a female Red-winged Blackbird could not resist acting like a Karen.
Following are photos taken recently at home of other birds.
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have been coming in greater numbers. Capturing their flight is usually a challenge, but here are some of the better shots.
Hummingbirds are always great but I do love the expression you caught on that Goldfinch!

Such beautiful shots! I had to think about your remarks about acting like a “karen” but your “wear a mask” tagline explained it.

Your images are absolutely magnificent, Hien, and it isn’t only because of the beautiful subjects they depict!

Thank you Lois! It was good to drive around there again. Not very many people, but it could be because of the Greenhead flies.

Book is almost finished. I am taking a few days off then will edit it one more time. Hopefully that will be it before it gets published on Amazon.
