A red-headed woodpecker enjoying a spring afternoon in Edwards, IL
Over the spring months, I ventured out and about near Edwards, IL to shoot some more wildlife photos with my Canon 5D Mark III and Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.0-5.6 II L IS telephoto-zoom lens. Several of the birds I photographed I've seen earlier this year during the winter months, but I also was able to capture some new "visitors" including some Baltimore orioles, rose-breasted grosbeaks, and American goldfinches as well. I've added some photos of the birds I photographed in the last few months below:
This cardinal is a frequent visitor!
A female Baltimore oriole
An American gold-finch
A male Baltimore oriole enjoying some grape jelly
I've captured several good photos of red-headed woodpeckers this year!

Another neat shot!

Love the blurred background!
Another close-up of a cardinal...

That wraps up this post. Stay tuned for more posts as I venture out more outdoors over the summer months...
