I closed out the week with another trip over to Howell's... I suppose I should start trying to be a bit more varied in my choice of photography locales, huh?
To start things off, another silhouette shot:

When I arrived one of the wood ducks was making its way across to the opposite shore; hopefully one of these days I'll catch one a bit closer to my side of the pond:

Not a great image of the two male wood ducks, but I wanted to include it anyway:

I liked how this blackbird looked against the dead tree, especially with the greenery in the background:

I spotted this as I ambled along the road to see what might be happening at the other end of the pond:

A redtail hawk that circled overhead for a bit before heading off into the woods behind me:


One of the few bird songs I actually recognize immediately is the cardinal's, which enabled me to hone in on this male up in a pine tree:

The kingfishers were active tonight, traveling back and forth across the pond:

I managed to get a few shots of one coming out of the water after an unsuccessful try for a fish:


Finally, a photo I don't remember taking. It's the only one of its kind, completely unlike the images just before or after it. I have a vague memory of trying to figure out how to get the camera to focus on something specific while shooting through the brush—when there's a number of objects in the frame it doesn't always want to zero in on the same thing I do—so perhaps I took it then. Regardless, I decided it was one of those mistakes that's worth sharing:
