How exciting! My Red-bellied Woodpecker photo was chosen to appear on the cover of the Michigan Audobon magazine! Thanks for the opportunity!

There were several Gambel’s Quails that were scurrying on the ground and gave us great views.

With the first above freezing day we’ve had in a while, is it too early to start looking forward to the return of the Red-winged Blackbirds and other early migrating birds?

It was a nice surprise to finally see a flock of Pine Siskins in the yard, even if it was only a brief stop.

We have had a lot of winter this winter which has left no open water anywhere nearby me. So I guess I am missing the Ring-billed Gulls a bit? Lol
