I have a few Sandhill photos to go through. Here's a nice fly by with a junior in the upper left. Love to see the young ones. They must be having the experience of their lifetime in their first migration.

two little shrooms huddle together on a moss covered fallen tree. A third shroom is visible behind the cuddlers. Rust coloured pine needles litter the moss and beyond the fallen tree ivy grows with determined intention.

The morning glare on the leaves made it impossible to see who was in the feeder. It was more Chipping Sparrows! The sun was reflecting on so many birds wings as they swirled between trees it was beautiful! 🪶

Had just enough time after dropping off my freight to zip down to the Muscatatuck NWR to take a spin around the driving tour. It was pretty quiet bit this red-shouldered hawk was there. It was getting dark enough where still shots were beyond the realm of possibilities.

Suddenly the group of Chipping Sparrows were in both cage feeders with a House Finch minding her own business. 🪶 1/3

After a good night's sleep I woke up to the world being covered in this cold, wet, white stuff. I'm not sure how I feel about it. ~Barney 🐈

Today's #BirdOfTheDay from @alan678.bsky.social is #warblers of any kind. Last winter we had the Pine Warbler on the left and an Orange Crowned Warbler on the right of the suet feeder. 🪶
