Birds, bugs, and whatever else catches my eye. All 📷 mine unless otherwise noted. Also into books, meteorology, fiber arts, herping, hiking, and all manner of exploration.
I'm very late to #BirdOfTheDay today, but I can't resist sharing this handsome juvenile Barn Swallow #onawire.

To kick off the weekend, a stunning Scarlet Tanager putting his heart and soul into his song. #BirdOfTheDay #singing #EastCoastKin 🪶

One of our most common #thrushes, bluebirds are vibrant, lively little birds who brighten the landscape year round. #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin 🪶

The pokeweed berries have also been late here in WI this year, providing food for some of our latest migrating birds. Here's a Yellow-rumped Warbler enjoying a few of the (toxic to people!) berries on a recent dreary fall day. 🪶 #NaturePhotography

For the #BirdOfTheDay, this American Coot wants you to know that water birds can be #round too!

When it's 60 degrees and sunny in Wisconsin in November, you take advantage of the weather to go down to the lake and take the most exuberant bath possible. #NaturePhotography #EastCoastKin 🪶

It's hard to see a Purple Martin without being absolutely mesmerized by its color. It's rare, though, to have one stare back with as much curiosity as this guy displayed. #BirdOfTheDay #StareDown #EastCoastKin #NaturePhotography 🪶

This stunning Sora was unusually cooperative, weaving in and out of the reeds in the shallow water next to the boardwalk. #BirdOfTheDay #paddling #EastCoastKin 🪶

Sometimes you just want to hit your head on a branch and scream...

(Blackpoll Warbler, probably not as angry as he looks)

The #BirdoftheDay today is birds on the #ground, and we often get large mixed flocks of sparrows foraging on the ground during fall migration. This handsome guy is a juvenile White-crowned Sparrow, looking very sharp in the grass. 🪶

I'm late to #BirdOftheDay today, but the theme is #least, as in the bird you have the fewest photos of. I'm not sure which bird is the absolute least for me, but I'm choosing the Golden-winged Warbler, because it is both difficult to find and to photograph. I found this lovely lady last spring. 🪶

Flashback to summer, when I observed these two juvenile Tree Swallows #fighting and chasing each other in circles. No idea what they were fighting over, but the victor spent awhile smugly preening atop this dead tree. #BirdOfTheDay 🪶

Me, sneaking into the weekend a little early...

Happy Friday everyone!

I found this Ruby Meadowhawk sunning itself next to the beach. It certainly earns the "ruby" part of its name with that color! #invert #NaturePhotography

It was perfectly silent in the BWCA when a pair of Common Loons surfaced just offshore. They fished and dove, unbothered by the enthralled humans sitting nearby. #birds #NaturePhotography #EastCoastKin

A gorgeous Killdeer on the #rocks of Lake Superior for the #BirdOfTheDay today.

Mondays are hard sometimes.

The theme for #BirdOfTheDay today is #underrated, and I think Yellow-rumped Warblers are often under appreciated. The first warblers of spring and the last warblers of fall here, they are numerous and lively and have brightened up many birding outings for me. 🪶
