A leucistic male Yellow-head Blackbird stands out among the blacks and browns of its flock

One of the Yellow-headed Blackbirds in the flock was almost entirely white! #birds #VENTbird #leucistic

A mixed flock of blackbirds and starlings nearly blacks out the frame.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FourOrMore, captures of 4 or more birds in 1 photo. This is just a fraction of a mixed flock of Yellow-headed, Brewer’s, and Red-winged blackbirds, Brown-headed Cowbirds, and European Starlings my tour found in a field in California’s Imperial Valley. #birds #VENTbird

A male Golden-cheeked Warbler belts out his song as the morning light sets his golden cheek aglow.

A male Black-capped Vireo pauses in the open just long enough to have his picture taken. Something they seem to hate!

I spent the weekend in Austin, attending the memorial service for Victor Emanuel. Before grabbing my flight home this morning, I managed to see the two premier bird species of the Texas Hill Country. As Victor would have wanted. #birds #onemorewarbler #VENTbird

Great Shearwater on the Bay of Fundy from my Grand Manan tour a few years back. Shot with my phone through my binoculars. #VENTbird #birds #phoneskope

Just finished my Winter Southern California tour for Victor Emanuel Nature Tours. This very confiding (and hungry) California Gnatcatcher was one of the highlights. #birding #VENTbird #birdphotography
