Spotted several Yellow-rumped Warblers right outside my apartment! Took these photos through my home office window! According to CLO, Yellow-rumped Warblers don’t breed in MS, but I put out a few clumps of raw wool just in case. If they don’t use it, other birds will! 🪺

Getting slightly better at feather ID. I believe this is a redtailed hawk feather! Perhaps a juvenile? A secondary or tail feather? 🪶

Beautiful indigo bunting! I got some surprisingly decent photos considering how far away it was. 🩵💚
So happy to go birding with a great friend! It was a much needed destressor from my dissertation. 🥰

This field guide is hilarious! I’ve enjoyed thumbing through it between writing breaks. Features some common birds plus various tips on birding, feeders, & journaling. I also love this style of illustration! 10/10 highly recommend 😁
