Some photos from my recent trip to Virginia.
Slate-Colored Junco
Female Eastern Bluebird
Eastern Bluebirds are rare and specialized in Ottawa. The grasslands south of
the airport are one of the few places where we can still find them. In the
southern states, though, they're ubiquitous year-round suburban birds. This
one was perched in front of someone's Christmas decorations.
Come June, I'll be bringing my zoom lens to Virginia, and then to Outer Banks,
in summer, for the first time. I look forward to getting pictures of male
bluebirds in their vivid breeding dress, and many others besides.
