MIT & the Click Ponds 12/13/12

Just a few shots from Moccasin Island Tract and the Click Ponds....


A curious Loggerhead Shrike


A loud Eastern Meadowlark...."Can you hear me now?" 


A hungry Wood Stork eating a decaying dead fish...


This was the Stork's reply when I asked how the fish tasted...


Finally, I saw my first Bufflehead at the Click Ponds:)

  1. Beautiful colours in the Easternlark shot. Ours in the uk are pretty dull compared to that with exception of the Shorelark. Have a great Christmas and keep the camera busy.

  4. Love the Eastern Meadowlark Tammy! A lot more colourful than any of 'our' Larks, which tend to be brown.

  8. Great portraits of the Shrike and Meadowlark! I can relate to the Wood Stork, prehistoric looking and willing to eat almost anything. I'm jealous of you with your Meadowlark! I can't get one to hold still for anything! Buffleheads are striking in their black and white and just downright cute.

    Hope you have a wonderful Holiday!

  13. Great shots - I've nerv seen a meadowlark - but every picture I see of them has them perched on a pole belting out a song! Do they do anything else!?

  16. Great photos Tammy, your birds are always doing something interesting. The Wood Stork looks like it's picking out material for a new hat, and the Meadowlark doesn't seem to need it's neon yellow colouring to draw attention to itself, not with a voice like that! So funny :)
