I spent a week in Georgia, and met some very vocal Boat-tailed Grackles at the beach!

I can’t help it. The grackles are still here, and need to be photographed 🤣
The male Common Grackles usually take every opportunity to display, especially in the spring! But it’s Fall, and this male was displaying a lot! Apparently, he knows what he looks like🤣

Captured a fascinating scene, this little crab spider nabbed herself a huge meal!

A curious green heron, keeping one eye on me across the pond and the other on the young Cooper's hawks in the tree just above

Apologies, as these are not great but I have to share this Osprey sighting! Fall migration provided me the opportunity to see one locally, and the non-birders in my life don't understand my excitement over the sighting.

I got to show off my spark bird to my partner over the weekend! This juvenile Green Heron was very calm, hanging out in this little puddle by the lake

Ahh I'm so excited to have captured a killdeer for the first time! I've heard their calls and seen them fly overhead for my entire life, but today I happened across several!
