72. Black and White Warbler, North Carolina, NA 29.

 

This bird's name is like Ronseal - "does it exactly what it says on the tin"!

Work hasn't afforded me much chance to post of late but I've finally got sometime this on this lovely Sunday afternoon

 

74. Killdeer, North Carolina, NA 31.

 

This guy was in the turning circle outside the local supermarket. In the late evening light I almost tread on him

75. American Robin, North Carolina, NA 32.

 

Has to be the most common bird that I saw, especially after a little rain when they go made for earthworms

79. Northern Rough-winged Swallow, North Carolina, NA 36.

 

A bit sad to see this swallow use a tailpipe as a perch but so be it...

The tail shape is the giveaway

86. Western Osprey, North Carolina, NA 43.

 

I tried workout if the North American Osprey is a sufficiently distinct species from the European to claim this is a form of sub-species but my reading suggest that with the exception of the Australasian they are all Western Osprey

87. Purple Gallinule, Georgia, NA 44.

 

This next set of shots are from Georgia and in particular the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge (SNWR). SNWR is conveniently located about 25mins from central Savannah, so combining a sight seeing trip and birding stop wasn't too hard. It's also jam packed full of Alligators which entertained my wife and young kids

These poor guys were photographed on a wet and misty day in Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (ARNWR). I'm going to write a small TR on ARNWR when I get the chance mainly because it has to be the best place in the world to see Black Bears - we saw 8 in two drives!
