1-2-3 Medium Bird Jubilee – #16
As the birds get a little bigger, they get a littler easier on snapping a shot before they take flight. Here’s a series of my lucky favorite shots of some medium-sized birds from the past couple months.
First, some side-by-side comparisons of a male and female in a species.

This next bird species, the Dickcissel, was considered a rare sighting for our area. We had a flock come through, I was able to hear at least eight of them singing from their hidings. This one finally popped up way out in the field.
