patrick Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) Redtail Hawk, juvenile Another juvenile Redtail Hawk Bald Eagle. Great to have these so close by, at Coal Lake. This individual was very weary of me and I got this shot from far away. A Purple Finch visiting one of my bird feeders A Yellow-Rumped Warbler stopped by in my backyard on it's migration south. A Northern Harrier at Coal Lake A Great Blue Heron early in the morning at Coal Lake This is a male Merlin Black-Capped Chickadee, still a bit wet after visiting the bird bath.

Morphine Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I always enjoy your pictures, the clarity and shots that you come up with are amazing! Something I always wonder - How the hell do you figure out all the names of these birds haha, some of them i've never seen or heard of ever.

Yes I know what you are saying. It is not easy to ID birds, especially not small warblers and sparrows. It is amazing how many different species there are when you start looking around.
