Western Tanger Female On Scotch Broom
I've seen the much more dramatic males in the interior but I have yet to take a photo of one. I'm guessing if a female is here, there is probably a male as well somewhere. Tags: Iona Beach Regional Park

Tree Swallows Mating
I have photos of these two birds actually doing the act - this seems a bit more romantic. I can just imagine what she is saying. Surprisingly, this shot is handheld at 800mm. Species: Tachycineta bicolor (Tree Swallow)

Swallow Inspecting Birdhouse
These birds didn't really seem to mind the birders close by - the bird was inspecting a nest box and spent quite a bit of time coming half into the hole. Species: Tachycineta bicolor (Tree Swallow)

Male Yellowthroat Singing
These birds tend to hide in the brush, slowly working their way to the top, and then they drop down. This individual seemed to spend a lot of time at the top of the bush. Tags: Iona Beach Regional Park

Red Wing Blackbird Comparison
Red Wing Blackbirds were quite common in the Marsh - you could easily see two or three at any time. I thought it would be handy to have a photo of a Red Winged Blackbird in similar light, but it turns out they aren't closely related to Yellow Headed Blackbirds. Species: Agelaius phoeniceus (Red-winged Blackbird)
