Here鈥檚 a fun bird I tried so hard to capture last year and finally got a good shot of this January, a Belted Kingfisher!! As their name suggests, they are great fishers, flying along waterways and diving for fish once spotted! Their calls are distinctive once you learn them but they fly so fast it can be hard (for me) to get good pictures of them unless they are perching 馃槀馃槄馃挋 . . .

Female Boat-tailed grackles are much duller in color than the males which have a darker iridescent color (I posted one last year if you want to see!). In a lot of birds, the female will often be less colorful to help with camouflage! This particular female boat-tailed grackle was hanging out cautiously near me at St. Marks NWR before it flew off over the grasses! . . .

Fast forwarding from August 2022 to January 2023 starting with this male Red-winged Blackbird (very creative naming lol). These birds can be found pretty much all over the US, especially around marshes and wetland areas! 鉂わ笍馃А . . .

I *think* this cool bird is a Greater Yellowlegs! It can be quite difficult to distinguish from Lesser Yellowlegs and Greater Yellowlegs unless they are right next to each other, but one slight difference is Greaters have an ever so slightly longer and more upturned bill! As the name says, they can be identified from other similar shorebirds by their bright yellow legs! 馃挍馃槀 . . .

Last Black Skimmer photo for now, I was pretty impressed with myself that I actually captured one in the skimming process! They use their large lower bill to skim under the water鈥檚 surface until they hit some food and then snap it back up to eat! 馃槷 . . .
