I've put up several photos of the Great Shearwater. There are also photos of an unusual-for-July Snowy Owl being harassed by a Northern Mockingbird. Many songbirds-in-flight photos from May are also up: grackles, orioles, tanagers, waxwings, Purple Martin, Seymour the pheasant (a.k.a. Fred), raptors, etc. I have organized albums by taxonomic grouping as well as things like "diving ducks in the act of diving".
