Somehow I was at Serpentine River WMA again. And it started as usually.... nothing really happened.... everything was calm....

So I took some pictures about Yellow-crowned Sparrows, Red-winged Blackbirds, and I was watching birds flying away, how a Cormorant was conducting Scaups, and a dragon landing on the river ....

...then suddenly I saw a beautiful bluebird and later a blue angel, who watched me with its yellow eyes....

Spring is definitively here....ducks decided to make some ducklings :) it seemed the female did not care that she was almost choked in the river ....

I was watching crows making funny dancing-singing party on a tree, but it was something else...a RT Hawk was sitting beside them so they wanna have fun and playing their favorite game: " Let's chase the hawk away"

You're doing great with the new kit Krisztina. That Red-tailed Hawk shot is awesome!

Awesome shots! I agree the blackbird is great, and I also like the heron taking off.
