First I must apologize for not being around this site much, but was away in Bermuda from Mid February to early March and then got quite ill (not coronavirus) after I got home and just getting back to normal. Thought I would share a few of the bird shots I was able to get during my time in Bermuda. I got photos of 5 birds I had not seen before, plus a few others...
First new one is the White-tailed Tropicbird. Although it was early in the season for them, I did see several and got a couple photos:

Second new one is the Eastern Bluebird (quite similar to our Western variety):

Next new one was the European Goldfinch, only saw one so not the greatest shot:

Another new one for me, the Yellow-crowned Night Heron:

Last new one was the Bermudian White-eyed Vireo, which is an endemic species:

Although I had seen Little Blue Herons before, this is the first time I saw a juvenile and was surprised that they are white when at that stage:

Saw a few Northern Cardinals, but only able to grab one so so photo:

There were many Ruddy Turnstones:

Cheers to all and happy birding...Neal
