In previous years, we were lucky to spot one or two gray catbirds. This season, however, they seem to be everywhere, and I've been fortunate enough to capture several—including this stunning little visitor.

You don't see this every day. As we pulled into Garby Big Woods, I immediately spotted a Red-shouldered Hawk perched gracefully on one of the birdhouses. She was just relaxing there, taking in the surroundings. After I snapped a couple of photos, she glided over to another birdhouse near the treeline. She paused there for a moment, allowing me to capture a few more shots before she finally flew off. What an incredible experience!

The unassuming sparrow... simple, plain, but beautiful.

Few sights are as breathtaking as a goldfinch cutting through the gloom of a cloudy, foggy day. Its vibrant feathers shine like a beacon against the gray, a truly captivating display of nature's beauty.

This time every fall the Red-winged Blackbird disappear... I guess they migrate early. I guess it is still summer but they are gone. Sometimes we will see a few of them fly through but I think they are gone. This is one of the last ones we photographed.
