Photos from the trip to Missouri


One of two Yellow-crowned Night-Herons at El Dorado Springs, KS. I had no photos of this species before.

Hard to believe but this is a lifer for me. Tufted Titmouse. I need to bird east
more often! I have the Black-crested Titmouse from Texas, which was once lumped with the Tufted Titmouse.
I have now photographed all of the titmice species in North America.

Lifer, Prothonotary Warbler!

Lifer butterfly, Spicebush Swallowtail



This Black Vulture decided to use dad and mom's car for a perch.

I've heard that in Florida they will cause damage by chewing on wiper blades and other soft materials, but no damage was done here.

Susan and I were walking a trail when she spotted this Pileated Woodpecker on a downed
log at close range. Wish it would have stayed put longer.

Lifer, Acadian Flycatcher!
