National Bird T-Shirts

I went searching for wildlife atop Frazier mountain, in the Los Padres National Forest, California, and I found this beautiful little gem of the forest. A charming lark sparrow, singing with such a lovely melody. The markings on this wild bird were extraordinary. Wild bird lovers will love these adorable wildlife gifts.

Migrating Turkey Vultures by Debra Martz Not olny do large numbers of Pelicans, Cormorants, Blue Jays, Gulls and Ducks arrive during fall migration, so do large numbers of Vultures. They stay around a few weeks before starting to head south.

The quaint and beautiful Keel-billed Toucan, also known as sulfur-breasted toucan or rainbow-billed toucan, Ramphastos sulfuratus. Keel-billed toucans have zygodactyl feet (or feet with toes facing in different directions) – two toes face forward and two face back. Because toucans spend a large portion of time in the trees, this helps the birds to stay on the branches of the trees and jump from one branch to another. Photographed in Costa Rica this is the national bird of Belize. Canon 6D, zoom lens. Featured in The Beauty of Nature, & Other Groups.)

Blue-crowned Motmot, Momotus momota, photographed at Monte Verde National Park, Costa Rica. Their call is a low owl-like ooo-doot. These birds often sit still, and in their dense forest habitat can be difficult to see, despite their size. They eat small prey such as insects and lizards, and will also regularly take fruit. Like most of the Coraciiformes, motmots nest in tunnels in banks, laying about three or four white eggs. Canon 6D, zoom lens.

American White Pelican Migration ©Debra Martz I discovered this migration path for these Pelicans in 2019 and return each year to watch in amazement as the numbers grow the first few weeks in October. Captured at the Great Salt Plains State Park in Northern Oklahoma in During Fall Migration.

Verdin Nest Building ©Debra Martz This was the first time I had seen a Verdin's nest and was quite surprised by the size and messiness of it! Maybe the inside is neater where it flew into it from the bottom with this bit of white fluff!

The water was not moving, it was all frozen in place. Waterfowl looking for open water of which there was a small area back by the spillway on both sides. The birds in flight are mostly Common Mergansers, Northern Pintails and a few seagulls. February was brutally cold with several weeks below freezing dipping as low as -14. Once the weather and roads improved I made the drive to the Great Salt Plains Lake in northern Oklahoma for a bird watching day. I had a better day than anticipated, seeing 41 different species even with the majority of the lake frozen. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: "Feathered Friends2" 20210223-DSC_4307.NEF

Morning Flight During Fall Migration ©Debra Martz The early morning light provided a pink cast sky that reflected on water in the foreground. American White Pelicans departing for another area of the lake. What appears as small white dots flying across the lower level of the trees is mainly American Avocets as they migrate here in large numbers, too.

Quiet Alone Time ©Debra Martz While there were 1000s of American White Pelicans on the lake, this one found a bit of space to just float around in peace and quiet.

American White Pelican Migration Continues ©Debra Martz I discovered this migration path for these Pelicans in 2019 and return each year to watch in amazement as the numbers grow the first few weeks in October. it is now October 11th and more arrivals everyday.

Beaks to the West ©Debra Martz We moved to another area of the lake to try for some closer images. Almost all of these Pelicans have their beaks facing west. Trying to not look into the morning light perhaps. It was 8:38am and the sun was rather bright. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: Feathered Friends 3 20221011-DSC_5723.NEF

Turkey Vulture Up Close by Debra Martz Goodness, it was if this vulture flew by so close that it was telling me, "Those Pelicans aren't the only birds migrating and worth photographing!"

Arriving A Bit Weathered and Worn by Debra Martz Over the first few weeks of October the American White Pelicans arrive daily on their fall migration from the north. This one was looking a bit haggard from its travels so I brighten it up a bit by adding some textures and painterly effects.

And Then The Cormorants Arrived ©Debra Martz For two weeks I had only been seeing a few Double-Crested Cormorants with the American White Pelicans, even at the previous areas where I stopped and just before moving to one more place on the lake. I was pleasantly surprised, to say the least, when I saw these arriving in huge numbers.

Crowded Takeoff by Debra Martz I don't know how they can takeoff when so close and crowded together. The American White Pelican is a very large bird with a length over 5 ft and wingspans up to 9.5 ft. Also, you might notice they are kicking up muddy water. That is just how shallow this lake is becoming due to the ongoing drought.
