The Better Birds

Summer Tanager Konza Prairie Manhattan, KS

Louisiana Waterthrush A tough bird to keep up with! Just one of these was in the park for a few days -- a bit of sunshine and something fascinating at water's edge was all it took to finally catch up! Monticello Park in Alexandria

Prothonotary Warbler Visiting the nest to drop food off to the female -- quite an interesting setup. About half of the time I was watching, the female would go down into the cavity and transfer food to the chicks. Of course, the rest of the time both the male and female were directly feeding the chicks, but these times gave a much better chance of a nice pose at the entrance!
