It looks like Mike Affinito was off on a birding trip in the U.S. north-central states of Minnesota and the Dakotas. He shared some great shots of birds he saw along the way. Check them out:
You know I’m always a sucker for a good BIF shot and this is one of them. A male Rudy Duck showing its breeding season blue bill is about to touch down.
I would love to get a shot like this one – two Western Grebes literally running across the water together! Great Bird Pic!
Out in the middle of the plains, grassland birds like the Nelson’s Sparrow pop up once in a while. This one showed up long enough for its portrait. Notice how the bird’s colors blend right in with the grasses.
A Chestnut-collared Longspur sings away atop a stalk of grass. A striking bird!
Thanks to Mike Affinito for sharing these amazing bird photographs from his trip!
