When we see Bluejays, they are usually very loud and obnoxious. This one flew into this tree, did not make any noise, and then minutes later he flew away. I guess he was just checking things out.

The weather was perrfect for hiking, so on this day about three weeks ago we hiked to an overlook platform at Stillwater Prairie Reserve. I have never seen that much from this location, but on this day we saw a lot of wildlife. It was mostly birds and butterflies, but wow ... so much beauty. This Goldfinch was actively pollinating.

This is an Eastern Kingbird, a large tyrant flycatcher. I read that there are more than 400 species of these tyrant flycatchers. I wish I could get one of them to catch some of the flies that try to get into our house.

It has been a while since we posted a photo of a cardinal. They are masters of hide-and-seek.
As in most cases, it started with that ‘tink’ call. We were hiking up this grade when we first heard him. It took a few minutes but this time he was not able to hide. Once he was located, we both started snapping photos. The foliage made it a tough shot, but as you can see, the beauty compensated us for our effort. We both captured a few photos with this being the best of them.

A few days ago I posted photos of a male Eastern Towhee. A few days ago I saw this this female Eastern Towhee. The photo is not perfect due to some focus issues, but I wanted to share it. The female has less of the deep colors but she is beautiful.
