Ardea herodias
Despite being huge, great blue herons weigh about 5 or 6 pounds.
On of my local favourite birds.

Agelaius phoeniceus
A small amount of colour can go a long way. Hard to mistake a red winged blackbird male for any other bird.

Araneus diadematus
Several cross orb weavers made homes in my garden in the late summer. This one was right by our back door and the kids loved her webs.

My wife and I tend to get lost in the wilderness to mark big occasions. For our 12th anniversary we wandered through a swamp without getting lost!
On her 30th birthday I may have gotten us lost in a desert...

The changing season brings new birds and behaviours, but also fewer sightings and colder hands!

During the spring and summer I have frequent, nearly constant visits from robins. The fall is here and the robins aren't. Too bad, they're my fave
