Wood Sorrel

Posted By Robert Watters
From the Wood Sorrel family but not sure exactly which one. Just to give you a sense of scale this flower was only about 3/8" across.

Yellow Warbler

Posted By Robert Watters
I must of gotten too close to a Red-Winged Blackbird nest because they were making all kinds of racket. This little guy flew in to see what all the noise was about.

ID Help

Posted By Robert Watters
I need some ID help on this one. This was a very small sized bird, not much bigger than a Humming Bird. They kept comming back to this weed stalk and were pulling the soft inner pulp fiber out for nesting material. They then flew back to a tree line that bordered a natural Prairie area located in Northen IL.

Redtail Hawk

Posted By Robert Watters
This guy was perched in the tree right above the Blue Heron I previously posted.
A little help with PhotoShop's "shadow/highlight" tool to correct the under exposure. :S

I really think these are a unique looking bird. I love the look that eye stripe gives them.
