Recent Birding Highlights

My favorite thing to do is be in the field photographing wildlife, but between that, and work, and life, I don't get enough time to process photos. The result is a huge backlog that grows by the day.

Below are some highlights from a number of bird outings over the last several months. These were all photographed up and down the East Coast.
