Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus). Very tame.
Downy Woodpecker (Picoides pubescens). Also tame.
Male and female Northern Harrier (Circus cyaneus). An example of sexual dimorphism.
Male American Kestrel (Falco sparverius).
Mated pair of Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis), singing a duet across the creek. An example of sexual monomorphism.
American Avocet (Recurvirostra americana)
Lovely…

The next kestrel With his flaps down is very nice.
These are terrific! Thanks for sharing.
That downy looks so young! Loving the kestrel shots too! 😍
Really amazing photos.
Beautiful photos Stephen. Thanks for sharing these!
How do sexual monomorphist sandhill cranes know who’s a viable mate?? Pheromones? Dance moves? Voice register and/or tunes sung?
Loved the head shot of the sandhill cranes. They remind me of a couple a grandparents yelling: “Get off my lawn!” Great photos, but where are the ducks. 😉
