We love going for walks in our local fen.
We were greeted in the parking lot by the sight of these amazing aerialists!
Male Tree Swallows!
So beautiful with their iridescent backs
We saw lots of Red-winged Blackbirds!
They are kin to orioles, in case you didn't notice :-)
These are boys, showing off
Quintessential American birds
Male Goldfinch!
Lovely Song Sparrows
Singing their asses off
Along with the usual suspects
There really should be turtles out there, we said
And then we saw one!
And Flora, too!
Gorgeous Swamp Marigolds
A little late coming on, but so bright and cheerful!
Skunk Cabbage everywhere
This little plant made me smile and crave Funyons
Pussywillow!
And last season's tattered Cattails
Delicate little flowers
And gaudy fruit blossoms!

It was a great day!
We had a gathering of tree swallows here about six weeks ago. They were so much fun to watch, but I couldn't get a decent picture of them, they were just too fast! You did a great job - and with all the other birds, too!
All so lovely! Spring is a rainbow and a delight.
Your photos remind me I need to pay more attention to the birds around me here. Thanks for sharing. :)

Your new lens loves you. Great photographs.
