This is a beautiful male American Goldfinch! Right now when you're out hiking, you can hear them singing loudly. Then you'll see them flying by. They are so easy to spot because of their unique flying style. I just love this bird!

captured this photo in the same spot where we saw those two deer I shared earlier this week! It seems like a really popular place. This beautiful Great Blue Heron was busy fishing when I stopped by.

Another day, another absolutely stunning song sparrow! This little maestro actually paused his mid-morning concert just long enough for me to snap this photo. As soon as the shutter clicked, he went right back to serenading the neighborhood. What a total professional!

We weren't anywhere near them, but you could instantly tell Mom wasn't thrilled with our presence! They were wading right through the Great Miami River. What an absolutely stunning photo!

Loved this Eastern Phoebe. It didn't take off, so I had time to capture a couple of good photos. Notice the spider web in the foreground. Cute!
