Nodding Trillium

Robert Watters said:

These are easy to miss sometimes because the flower is usually hanging (nodding) below the leaves.

Nice photo--this was the most common trillium along the lower Susquehanne River in PA, near where I grew up. I haven't seen one in years--thanks for sharing.

Very nice series, Jim. I usually just observe with binos or take photos--doing both is tough. I do have a small pair of binoculars, but it's tough to switch between the camera and the binos.

This guy kept his distance. I would really like to get a nice close-up.

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.

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.

What teleconverter is that? Looks pretty good...Kenko or Sigma?
