Snails pace still get there

I’m an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking, camping, birding, and gardening.
Happy Anniversary to us!! We went for a 6 mile hike and birdwatching adventure. 🪶the list ended up being pretty small because my partner didn’t want to stop much due to a huge number of mosquitoes. Got a few good pics anyway.

Does anyone birdwatch in their dreams?? I dreamt last night I was driving down the interstate and saw a Harpy Eagle on a telephone pole!! Probably the closest I’ll get to adding one to my list 🙃😉🤣🪶

Help with ID?? I think it’s a juvenile European Starling waiting around for someone to feed it at my feeder but my hubby says it doesn’t look right!! 🪶 we looked up the image on google and it came back with a Jackdaw but there is NO WAY there is a Jackdaw in my back yard all the way in Nebraska USA.

Camping with the kids this weekend was a mild success. Taking a bird walk didn’t go so well but I got an ok list. We did also see a humming bird but couldn’t identify the species because we didn’t have binoculars at the time. The indigo buntings also didn’t make the list but I got a photo of one! 🪶

This weekend (which officially starts on Friday for me 😉) we are camping in a minimal facility campground at Indian Cave State Park in Nebraska. This park is maintained as a birding location and with it being so close to the Missouri River I’m hoping to get some excellent lists! Wish me luck!!

Today is the start of the Nebraska Birding Bowl to celebrate National Bird Month here in the US! I’m competing in the “Dabbling Birder” category.

I can always count on a RWBB to pose for a good photo, and I also had 2 disruptive geese pose for a rather artistic shot today. 🪶

🪶 what a great kick off to migratory bird season!!

Work was terrible today so I braved the 3pm sun to grab a fairly decent list. I had my binoculars with me so significantly less photos. I also saw a muskrat and 2 big ol snapping turtles!! 🪶

Today I can’t get out to the Prairie because of this awful thing called “work” 🙄so instead I’ll post some photos from yesterday showing the recovery from the controlled burn we did several weeks ago.

Controlled burning is a completely normal means of maintaining the health of Tall Grass Prairies.

I am not a wildlife photographer by any stretch of the imagination but I did get some ok photos today of some birds. I’ve attached the eBird checklist for the full list

Tomorrow will be my first sunrise hike of the season! Should be a quiet walk as it’s a bit early for all the migrants coming up from South America, but hopefully I’ll snag some good photos of the flock of Blue Winged Teal at my favorite spot!

Pretty soon I’ll be out hiking outside regularly again! Looking forward to it! BOLO pictures!!
