Connecting Sounds

It does not matter how long I have been photographing birds, there's always something new to learn. I thought I know the song of the Field Sparrow but there was this song I have heard for a while and was not sure what it was. This past weekend, I connect that song to the field sparrow. I don't know how I missed this, but here is the call of the field sparrow: Field Sparrow Song.

Dude Looks Intense

The weather is getting great and we should see a lot more migrating birds any day. The Great Blue Heron is not a migrator here where we live, but we have not seen many for the last couple weeks. This guy showed up on day this week. ❤️

On The Move

The Carolina Chickadee maybe be a small bird, but they are fun to watch.
