YESTERDAY I was supposed to be doing chores but a grey bird caught my eye out the window. Was not a kinglet, was not a vireo, not a parula. I spent 50 minutes watching it and trying to figure it out.

Ended up being a ding dang female black-throated blue warbler! No mate seen, having girls night

My birch trees are absolutely swarming with ruby-crowned kinglets today. I think I’m counting at least seven?? #ABirdFromTheLord 🐦

Two other highlights:

This downy woodpecker going *tink tink* on the feeder trying to figure it out.

The return of my little field rat, with chickadee and wren pal

My Merlin app was going bananas this morning. “Is that a flicker? A cuckoo (wow rare!) Is that a…vireo? Is that uh…lost oriel? Is that someone’s house phone?”

No. There was a dang mockingbird this morning practicing his accents under this transformer, so his voice was projected extra loud. Jerk.

My ruby-crowned kinglets are back. I love these little guys. And this year they brought parulas and redstarts with them. Snacks are in the pantry kids have fun, make good choices #ABirdFromtheLord 🐦

Kind of a birding bust but the tiny dog was happy*

*by happy I mean he whined the whole time because I wouldn’t let him swim

Wow I’m glad for how the spirit is leading our people in this time and for the clear words that will be preserved in our history

Today is apparently eBirds “big day.” I only got in about 15 minutes at the breakfast table, and it was rainy, but I was very excited for the return of my flicker! Not seen since last year! And for an angry hummingbird (“what’s this seed crap!”) and a couple of warbling migrants #ABirdfromtheLord

I didn’t get to pay much attention to fall migration last year so this year has been like a whole new region of the pokemap for me. New lifer (to me)! Black-throated blue warbler. Made a quick stopover in the birches. A nice gift for a day off after a LONG weekend of work #ABirdFromTheLord

Two lifers (for me) in my backyard this morning! American Redstarts and a female scarlet tanager! A real gift after a hard damn week. #ABirdFromtheLord

Yesterday my boss asked “we can do our weekly check-in in the office. Or we can bring your binoculars and we’ll do our meeting at the dove field while I count doves for the hunt this weekend. What do you say?”

OBVIOUSLY we’re going to have a birding meeting with the gun dog in the sunshine. ⚓️

I get that South Carolina loves its pine straw in landscaping. It’s abundant.

It super gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Tell me this isn’t full of bugs that will jump out at me

Feeling ministry feelings this morning but you know who isn’t? This dahlia. She’s my first ever bloom and she’s thriving.
