There's an odd crabapple in Green-Wood that sprouts a few second set of blooms in late-Fall and, sometimes, even Winter. It has just started #flowers #nature #naturephotography #flowerphotography #crabapple

Bad pic of a good bird. We found this Sora foraging below the hedgerows with sparrows. Wanted to tell it the water was 75 yards behind it. Eventually figured it out #birds #birding #bird #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #rails

I believe that the only sexual dimorphism in Mallards is in the adult plumages, otherwise no size difference
