Piping Plover earlier this spring at Whitefish Point, in Michigan's upper peninsula. I did not truly appreciate just how teeny tiny these birds are prior I seeing them in person. #pipingplover #birds #upmichigan

Last weekend we went on a Cerulean #warbler tour with Michigan Audubon Club. We did see a Cerulean, but I didn't get a photo. I did get these photos of a White-Crowned Sparrow, a Yellow Warbler, a Great-Crested Flycatcher, and a Redstart though. #birds #birdphotography
