A rainbow of birds to catch your eye — and a reminder: Pride is more than celebration and rainbows. It honors the fight to live and love freely, the struggles of those denied that right, and the ongoing resistance for justice. As an ally, I stand in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community.

Spring Migration is winding down. Here are a few of my favorites visitors to pass through this spring.

Just when we think winter tracking season is over Maine throws us a late March storm. Bird tracks under the feeders.

I think this Common Grackle speaks for most of Maine today watching this snowstorm. I know...I know...we always get snow in March and often April...but I am ready for spring.

The blackbird flocks have returned to Maine. A sure sign that spring is well and truly on its way.

Tracking workshop with the young birders club. We saw some really fun tracks and had so much fun with @leadwithnature.bsky.social

The world feels really ugly right now. I am trying to find the beauty in the little things to make me feel more grounded. Like this Dark-eyed Junco enjoying these zinnia seeds from last summer.

This little Eastern Bluebird visited our yard during this afternoon's snow storm. A reminder that there is still whimsy and beauty in our world. Even when it feels bleak.

Two Mallard ducks taking a quick break during today's storm. These two were part of a group of 6 that hung out for about 10 minutes, took a quick nap, and then went on their way.

We got a few inches of snow last night. Just enough to capture the activity of the Dark-eyed Juncos hopping around the back steps.

Imbolc reminds us that the light will return after the darkness. The world may feel heavy, but we will persist. It is a time for a shedding comfort zones and allowing ourselves to evolve.
