@wiscobirder.bsky.social is a headliner at this year's Indiana Dunes Birding Fest! I couldn't be more thrilled for Dexter, and I can't wait to see him! Looks like someone will be needing to get that Sunday off from work. :D

Third time's a charm! Finally snagged my #snowyegret. I almost missed him again today, but glad I decided to give the rookery one last look before leaving to go back to work.

My boyfriend took me birding as a belated birthday date. I FINALLY got to see my favorite duck: The bufflehead! My pictures aren't great (too far away), but I'm so happy I got to see them in person. I also logged a tundra swan & several lesser scaup lifers.
