Took a trip to Great Britain to visit a friend for his birthday! Of course I got some birding in while I was there. European Stonechat

You can’t get much cuter than a pied-billed grebe!

These little grebes can trap water under their feathers and use it to control buoyancy, aiding in underwater hunting.

Winter Rocky Mountain National Park! I didn’t bring my camera with me since this was a short trip, but it was great to see the park in the winter. The third snap was a roadside mule deer.

This fall, I watched a black-capped chickadee foraging in the sugar maple beside our house. I got some great shots of it picking insects out of a spider web!

I snapped this puffy song sparrow foraging near the Chesapeake Bay. Birds puff up their feathers to trap air and stay warm in cold weather.

Surf scoter near Annapolis Maryland. I was watching a raft of ruddy ducks and this beauty swam by!
