Late May Birds

The closing days of May offered few opportunities to photograph birds.  Among those presentable are:

Purple Martins.  First, a male in the top of a tree eating leaves.

Next, a female with more than a mouthful of nesting material.  She couldn't get all of it back to the nest, and so settled for less.

A Cedar Waxwing:

And, a Willow Flycatcher.

 

There were some other birds, including a yellow warbler, but none of the photos measured up.  This Whitetail, though, did:

I watched this deer for over five minutes as it made its way across the marsh and ultimately across the road to another marsh.  It was seemingly unperturbed by my presence.

And so closes May.  Dang!  It is June already!
