Looking around the Latest Pics gallery these five pics caught my eye.
Never one to pass up a reflection pic, here’s a Lesser Yellowlegs from docshaf.
I featured black birds the other day, then this shot of a Common Raven came in from Asteinmann. He caught it in a parking lot in Utah. He captured a lot of detail on the bird, perhaps due to the angle of the sun.
Sylvester Alphonso photographed a Bar Headed Goose in India. Click the pic and read his Description about how this bird is able to withstand a lack of oxygen as it flys over the Himalaya Mountains.
Here’s a shot of a female Pileated Woodpecker, which Paul Demkovich said is creating a nest hole with her mate. Hoping Paul gets some shots of the progress of the nest and hopefully some chicks in the future.
Finally, here’s a shot from Lorjoh93 of a leucistic Northern Cardinal being fed by another Cardinal. Leucistic is a genetic disorder that causes most feathers to turn white. It is different from albinism in that albinism turns every feather white and turns the eyes red; leucistic birds often have patches of color and normal eye color.
