I have been watching this nest at the playground I take my son to like a (forgive my pun) hawk and I finally spotted an owlet!!!

Took a family trip to Boyce Thompson Arboretum with the family to enjoy the day and do some birding. Of course I had to take a million cardinal photos. #birds #northerncardinal

This curve billed thrasher was collecting nesting material in my neighborhood.

Finally got eyes on the Bald Eagle frequenting the Gilbert Water Ranch riparian preserve. Very exciting, especially since I got my second sighting of an osprey the same day.

My current library read. I truly didn’t expect ‘The Dictionary People’ to be as interesting and dare I say it ‘saucy’ as it has been. A very well researched and fascinating history of the OED.

Here is a Ruby Crowned Kinglet to brighten your day. I chased this little one for darn near half an hour. No regrets. #bird #birdsofbluesky

Finally starting my latest library find The Tree Collectors by Amy Stewart. I’m actually really excited for the premise since I find horticultural collectors fascinating 🪴. #amreading

Since this has been a sick house I have spent all my free time sleeping which means no #birding. Man I’m ready to back out there. I miss my feathered friends. Here is a picture of a little #saysphoebe that has been hanging around the green belt across from my house. #bird

I’m wild about Northern Mockingbird “birb” season. I get a lot of them in my neighborhood and sometimes they get so round and fluffy I almost mistake them for flycatchers.
