8. Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)
Most times I look up and see a large bird flying, I assume it's either: a.) a Vulture b.) a Seagull Recently, I've been able to see that a large amount of these giants birds I see flying around water are actually Osprey! However, I prefer their cooler name: The Seahawk.
These guys are basically bad-ass versions of seagulls, and it's sick. I love their white feathers! They also have a HUGE wingspan. Easily one of my new favorite birds to see around!
There's even a couple of protected nests near me, so I might update from time to time. Here's the most recent photo I've taken, which I assume is an angry momma waiting for her husband to bring home dinner.

5. Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea)
I've since gotten better at immediately identifying Herons and Egrets, but when I first got interested in bird photography, I would often get really frustrated when trying to find the difference between them
My mind still sometimes to struggle to grasp the fact that these are the same animal

hi! came here from the Carolina wren post, if they nest in the flower pot like you said, will you update us? thanx! :D
Definitely will update if they do! They actually nested in a different pot on our patio a few years ago so Iâm hoping they do the same again :)

9. Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis)
The Bluebird is probably my favorite bird to regularly photograph. In fact, seeing them around my house was part of what inspired me to get into bird photography in the first place! They just so obviously know that they're beautiful and are always positioning themselves to be seen by everyone. I swear, this one was striking a pose for me!

2. Palm Warbler (Setophaga palmarum)Â
Today I went on a walk by the river and saw this little yellow dude hopping around in the grass. There's something about yellow birds that I really love.
This guy looks PISSED!
