A baby Red-winged Blackbird! It’s nest was in the reeds and its parents were right out of the shot but it did seem small to be out of its nest 😅 hopefully it was just practicing hopping around

This Eastern Phoebe had a lot to say. Their call is pretty recognizable as they basically call out their name Pokemon style

Tufted Titmouse perched on a branch. This picture is actually from a few weeks ago but I’m behind on photo editing 😅

Cedar Waxwing - it has a nest in this tree! They were bringing nesting materials into the nest, not sure if there are babies or eggs yet.

I really like this shot I took of a Red-headed Woodpecker. It’s pretty rare that I manage to get photos of birds in motion that are in focus

Female Red-winged Blackbird • I actually think they are prettier than the males

I’m at 112 birds for the year so I have just over 6 months to see 88 more birds to reach my goal. Definitely possible but knowing it will require 48+ new lifers makes me worried 😅😅

Another Mourning Dove photo since the other one was popular….
I love the pink on this one’s neck. Not sure if it’s common or not, another one in my yard has gold on their neck.

One of the few warblers I’ve seen this year so far, Northern Parula. Hopefully I have more warbler luck hiking tomorrow or camping later this week.

Built this platform feeder today! I think it turned out pretty good considering I’ve never built anything before 😅 the birds already seem very excited to use it.

This isn’t the definite location yet so I only kinda stuck it in the ground thus the bricks holding it steady.

Yellow Rumped Warbler • at least in Indiana these are the warblers that seem to appear first and stay the longest. This guy has been hanging out in my yard for a few days now.
