Flying Things of Quincy Lakes

A few photos of the wildlife I spotted during my day trip to Quincy Lakes.

I spent most of Sunday at Quincy Lakes, a weird area of small lakes nestled among the rocks southwest of Quincy. I brought along my camera and my big lenses. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring along my tripod. But I did manage to get three pretty good shots of the critters flying around there.

I’m pretty sure this is a redwing blackbird. I could be wrong. If anyone knows, please share info in the Comments.

 

I have no clue what this bird is. I don’t have any of my bird books with me and my Internet connection isn’t as reliable as I need it to be to look things up. Know what it is? Use the Comments link or form.

 

A butterfly.

    The bird in question is an eastern kingbird.

    Thanks, Tom! I really need to get my hands on a book. Otherwise, I’ll just have to keep posting bird photos and hoping folks like you identify what I’m seeing.
