Photos of the day: Animal Portraits

Here are some of the photos that I took today. Surprisingly, some of these animals stayed really still for me to take their photographs. From the deepest part of my heart, thank you all.

I like the little white feather stuck on this male Mallard.

No feather stuck on this one's head, but it's a handsome-looking bird.

Golden-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia atricapilla)

Another Golden-crowned Sparrow. Huckleberry Days wrote a recent post about these "little brown birds" a few days ago.

Got really lucky today and saw this American Bittern (a few metres away from me) at the other side of the ditch with an unobstructed view.

Yes, I can still see you. But thank you for not flying away.

Somebody's cat.
