There's something magical about hanging out in the forest with thrushes. Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus) 🪶

I finally managed to get a bit closer to the Bald Eagle pair today thanks to the thick fog keeping them at low altitudes. 🪶

The last shadow for some small mammals. ☠️ Juvenile Eastern Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis borealis) 🪶

So wonderfully rotund. Female American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) 🪶

Jessie the Red-tailed Hawk looking fierce despite his injuries. He's a wonderful ambassador for education! 🪶

I wish we had more Tits here, but I'm still a fan of a good Tufted Titmouse. 🪶 (Forgive me)

A Hooded Warbler looking good in the morning sun. 🪶

My favorite warbler - the Black-and-white Warbler! 🪶

A young Eastern Phoebe keeping an eye out for some tasty bugs. 🪶

A Yellow Warbler greeted me at the wetlands yesterday. First warbler of the season for me. 🪶

I had a bit of fun with the macro lens and some trusting Ruby-throated Hummingbirds this morning. 🪶

A Song Sparrow hanging out in the backyard this afternoon. I used to call these birds "McDonald's birds" when I was younger, because I'd always see them hanging out in the parking lot of McDonald's grabbing food. 🪶

I enjoyed hanging out with the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in the yard this morning. So territorial! 🪶

A Carolina Wren eying me because I hadn't refilled the birdfeeders. 😂🪶

Willet (Tringa semipalmata) 🪶

Indigo Bunting (Passerina cyanea) looking rather...Indigo. 🪶

White-rumped Sandpiper (Calidris fuscicollis) hanging out in the muck. 🪶

Semipalmated Plover, which was a lifer for me, and I definitely thought it was a Killdeer at first glance. 😅 🪶

Short-billed Dowitchers (Limnodromus griseus) all lined up at the Eagle Bend Hatchery this morning. 🪶

My favorite warbler - the regal Black-and-white Warbler (Mniotilta varia)! 🪶

Eastern Kingbirds (Tyrannus tyrannus) are so chill for being photographed. Plus, they have a sick scientific name. 🪶

My most commonly seen Wren - the Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus). This species is actually the first bird that got me interested in learning more about birds. One of these little stinkers built a nest in my boot, so I got to watch them hatch and fledge. After that, I was all in on birding.🪶

I spotted this gorgeous Swainson's Thrush (Catharus ustulatus) by accident as it wasn't making any noise or moving about. We just watched each other for a bit before I moved on. A nice change of pace from trying to keep up with the Warblers. 🪶

Since the male American Redstart that I posted yesterday seemed to be of interest to you all, I figure I should post the female I photographed yesterday. She was every bit as frenetic and difficult to photograph. 😅🪶

A male American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) enjoying the cool morning air. I'll miss these Warblers when they move on. 🪶

A male Dickcissel (Spiza americana) letting that song rip! 🪶

The stunningly yellow Prairie Warbler (Setophaga discolor)! This Warbler has one of my favorite songs. 🪶

The wild looking male Bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus) hanging out atop a tree. 🪶

An adorable little Least Sandpiper 🪶

Canada Goslings! 🪶

Solitary Sandpiper (Tringa solitaria) 🪶

Male Orchard Oriole (Icterus spurius) looking for love. 🪶

These blue patches on the wings are where the Blue-winged Teal (Spatula discors) gets its name. 🪶

Solitary Sandpiper (Tringa solitaria) hanging out with its reflection. 🪶

Green Heron (Butorides virescens) showing off 🪶

Indigo Bunting belting it out! 🪶

I just wanna pluck that tick off of this Yellow-breasted Chat! 🪶

Strawberry and banana! A pair of Summer Tanagers that I saw on a local birding trip this morning. 🪶

An Eastern Kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus) looking majestic after scarfing down a Common Whitetail moments before. 🪶

This American Cliff Swallow wants food now! 🪶

Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) hanging out in the woods (shockingly). Beautiful song. 🪶

Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypis tricha) enjoying some nice weather at Seven Islands State Park. 🪶

Myrtle Warbler looking dapper in the forest. 🪶

An Orchid Oriole (Icterus spurius) looking fabulous! 🪶

I like to pretend these Tree Swallows are having a conversation about their nest, which is in the tree just below the edge of the picture. 🪶

A Great Egret (Ardea alba) looking somewhat angelic while landing atop a tree. 🪶

I found this gorgeous adult Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea) yesterday in a nearby wetlands. They're rare around here compared to their larger relative, the Great Blue Heron, that we have tons of. Unlike the GBH, the LBH is only here during migration, so getting to see them is awesome! 🪶

I’ve been enjoying watching the Tree Swallows fly in and out of the water during sunset at the park. Little goofballs. 🪶

A Long-billed Dowitcher (Limnodromus scolopaceus) and a Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipe) look for worms together. 🪶
