Annoyed


This displeased Barred Owl was being harassed by American Crows the other day, in my yard here in Williamsburg.

Scotland


















I know this is a Virginia blog...but I wanted to share a few images of my June Scotland trip...and the Northern Fulmar and Common Eider are familiar to Virginia birders....Lapwing is recorded on the east coast....the Whinchat is a Turdidae "cousin" of wheatears...and the Red Kite...here in heavy molt...is making a comeback thanks to conservationist's efforts...and a Loch Ness image...is that something in the water?
