No pics here yet, but we have a flock of wild turkeys which have discovered our bird feeder. They seem to like what the little birds leave on the ground, mostly cracked corn… I counted 8 this morning.

(Took a LOT more horrible photos of swallows!)
We also saw some variety of ducks in the far distance including green-winged teal! But no good photos.

except where I lost 5 shots of it flying right at me, pursued by red winged blackbird
Merlin says this is a yellow bellied sapsucker
there was also an egret shot I lost out on, but that was the fault of a canada goose, and me not having my lens off already

Great hike with a local community group this morning! Cloudy, barely warm enough, overall lovely for a hike and decent for photos!
New friend spotted the grackle and I’m so glad he did!

Fun day!! Two lifers visiting us. Rose-breasted grosbeak and black&white warbler. Some grosbeak photos by MvR. The warbler was a speed demon, and I didn’t get a clear shot!

Stunning photos!
Did you hear the Rose-breasted grosbeak? They have a chirp that sounds just like a squeaky sneaker on a gym floor.

Hmm you know I was just outside hearing a very high-pitched sound I wasn’t familiar with. Maybe?!

We sat on the deck and enjoyed some more good birding. Also saw downy and red-bellied woodpecker, white-breasted nuthatch, but no fantastic photos.
