“Explorer” it’s been a while since I did a small original hummingbird - and I am very happy it is in a private collection!

A photo of western gull, a mostly white seabird with black wings (though you an only see a touch of one wing tip) and orange legs and feet. The bird is looking directly at camera. Behind the gulls are two marbled godwits, brown seabirds with long brown legs, both of which are facing left. The low surf rolls in behind the trio and the sand they walk on is wet and reflective.
Here we have a western gull accompanied by two backup dancers

Vlad regretted his choice of prop when auditioning for the role of the peace symbol.

Never had they been so cooperative when I tried to take pictures of them.

A Great Blue Heron (a large bird with hair like feathers in the front of its chest) stands tall with its long neck stretched. A visible bulge is on its neck.
Don’t you hate it when you are something so dry it gets stuck in your throat and you have nothing to drink near you?

A bright dark yellow bird with a long black strip from the bottom of its beak to the top of its chest. Also has black wings, perched on a small branch of a tree.
#BullocksOriole, even with its bright color, it was so hard to spot in the yellowing trees. I heard it for a long time and found it after about an hour.

A baby duck with base black feathers is cover with fuzzy yellow fuzz. Its head is red with a reddish orange beak. Its black eyes look a little protruded with black lines going from the corner of the eyes to the top of the head.

A green heron is standing on top of a layer of broken reeds, keeping his watchful eyes toward the water for food.
I really love the beautiful feathers of a #GreenHeron. 😍 I wonder if they know they are being watched, and all those perfect feathers are being captured, frozen in time…
