A Few Vacation Birds and Flowers

While on our annual birding vacation with friends in northwestern Maine, I photographed a few cooperative birds - and flowers.

This Merlin flew in and landed atop of a spruce tree while we were looking for warblers below (I think he was looking for warblers too)!


A very cooperative Gray Jay stayed with us for several minutes and took food (gorp) from our hands!



These Tree Swallows perched on a wire next to a busy roadway. 




This Ruby-throated Hummingbird made frequent visits to the feeder at our cabin.




White Daisies …


… with morning dew.
