We’ve been waiting around all morning to try and see a very elusive partridge, but they never showed. So instead we will photograph this Baltimore Oriole. We took advantage of every bird opportunity possible on this trip. Shot was taken in Alajuela, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

A red tailed hawk is perched on a branch looking to the right. It's right claw is lifted as it floofs out its feathers getting ready to tuck it in to get some warmth. Photo taken by Wendy Dembowski.

Cold day essentials: a warm perch and a tucked-up foot. This Red-tailed Hawk gets it. #redtailedhawk #birds #hudsonvalley #shawangunkgrasslands #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #staywarm #isitsummeryet #birdphotograhpy #birdsofny #raptors #nature #wildlife #photography #ulstercounty

So this Blue-vented Hummingbird was one of those species I always see, but so focused on other birds I tend to neglect them a wee bit 🥲 but not this time. I photographed this beauty every chance I got. Shot was taken in Alajuela, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Another lifer for me a Blackburnian Warbler. I was able to get pretty close to this beauty.
