This blue jay didn't seem to mind at all that it was just the two of us hanging out in the absolute middle of nowhere. Honestly, I think he was just waiting for me to drop a snack. Or maybe he was judging my photography skills. Either way, pretty bold for a guy who can literally fly anywhere else in the world. Crazy jay.

Just before I spotted this Gray Catbird, I was literally just thinking that we hadn't photographed one all year... and then, boom, there he was. He is, quite literally, the cat's meow—which is highly ironic for a bird, I know.

We caught these two absolutely demolishing a suet cake, but they actually paused to strike a pose for us. Say cheese, you feathered little weirdos!

This Brown Thrasher was perched on a street sign. It is the first one we have seen this year. I love their big, yellow eyes. What a beautiful bird!

This beautiful monarch seems to be keeping its true splendor a secret. While the most breathtaking view is surely with its wings fully opened, this hidden perspective offers a rare, quiet glimpse into its world.
