Brown Creeper, tiny brown. and white bird with thin decurved bill climbing up side of pine. Can see how he blends in so well with bark of tree.
Due to its great camouflage this tiny bird has been eluding me, until I went to Southaven Park. Brown Creepers are such a delight! #browncreeper #longislandbirding #birdphotography #naturephotography #birds

These photos of a Wood Duck family, were a happy accident. They flew in at dusk, a bit out of camera's range. HAPPY to see them but knew I didn't get them in focus.☹️ I love how they look like impressionist paintings. We need more happy accidents! #woodducks #birds #birdphotography #longislandbirding
These are displays of masculinity that I can get behind! #wildturkey #longislandbirding #birdphotography
