Cedar waxwing, one of my favorite birds - I love their subtle colors, their mask, and their calls to each other. Symbolically, they can appear during turmoil or strife, reminding us to find our inner balance ♥️🪶

Getting ready for the day. 🌅 Cormorants do not have waterproof feathers, which is why you often see them perched with their wings outspread to dry them off. 🪶

Today's feature is a classic borb - the white throated sparrow. Besides being cute, I am a fan of their song, often described as being "Oh, Sweet Canada, Canada, Canada" ♥️🪶

Horned larks are fairly common winter visitors where I live. I love their jaunty way of walking, as if the snow and cold is all theirs. This one was definitely giving me the side eye 🪶

It's a bit cloudy and typical March here. I'm dreaming of yellow warblers and other spring birds. This bird is often seen as a symbol of joy and new beginnings. Soon.... 🪶

Sometimes crappy situations can have good outcomes. The light was terrible this day, but it turned into a picture I liked. Have a good weekend. Breathe.

“Though the winds be dank,
And the sky be sober,
And the grieving Day
In a mantle gray
Hath let her waiting maiden robe her, —
All the fields along
I can hear the song
Of the meadow lark..."

Cardinal. Always a bird that cheers me up, so I'm offering this pic in hopes it provides a moment of respite if you need that. Also, there are buds on the trees, which means spring isn't too far away. 🪶

White breasted nuthatch on a cold, windy day. Definite feeder fave! Since they spend a lot of their time upside down, one element of their symbolism is the ability to turn things around in order to gain a new perspective 🪶

Brown creeper - often overlooked. Fun fact: Hazel Wolf, a social justice activist, became an environmental advocate after seeing a brown creeper on her first birding trip. Its hard work and dedication to survival inspired her. 🪶
