1000 Song Types

With many birds, it is often the song that resonates with me. This is a Brown Thrasher. They are a migrating bird, and I usually only see them in the spring. Maybe they are around at other times, but that is when I tend to observe them.

Back to the song. The ‘brown thrasher is noted for having over 1000 song types, and the largest song repertoire of birds” Wikipedia. This one was certainly living up to that. It was so beautiful.

They are a brown bird, but don’t let that name deceive you. They are so very cool looking.

I hope this is not the last one I see this year.

Never Give Up

I have seen several Northern Flickers recently, but missed so many photo opportunities. This photo is not perfect, but I love this species. What a gorgeous bird.

This particular photo was taken from the Shook Walkway Bridge over the Miami River. I saw him flying over the river, but lost him in the trees. I never give up that easy ... so I walked back toward the tree where I last saw him and there he was.

Building A Home?

This is a female Red-winged Blackbird. I have been trying to get a photo of one since we first saw one this spring. They are nesting!

Sing It Loud

Sing it ... Sing it loud. This Song Sparrow was really making some beautiful music. I guess I should have recorded it.

Spring? 🥶

The weather is confused ... yes, it is spring. The trees are budding and I have already cut the grass once. Then it gets cold again. Oh well. Stay warm.

Don’t ask me what this had to do with this Blue Jay photo. I shot this near the Miami River last week .. on a warmer day.
