journeynorth.org said this: Most rubythroats fly nonstop 500 miles or more across the water to Mexico and other Central American countries. Some rubythroats fly over land, following the coastline to reach their wintering grounds.

You never know whats going to pop up during migration time This junior Yellow-bellied Sapsucker caught my eye with its interesting wavy feather pattern. On close inspection it had the barest hints of red on its head and throat.

Thanks to the Blue Jays I spotted a Peregrine Falcon so here's my salute to the jays. 🪶

I did not have seeing a Peregrine Falcon in Springfield, IL on my 2025 bingo card. After a blue Jay alert at the park I looked up and there it was. 🪶
