I am fariliy certain that is a Song Sparrow. Another great music maker.
From Wikipedia:
The sparrow species derives its name from its colorful repertoire of songs. Enthusiasts report that one of the songs heard often in suburban locations closely resembles the opening four notes of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. The male uses a fairly complex song to declare ownership of its territory and attract females.
Who knew. As for this particular bird, I am not sure what happed to her tail feathers.

I shared a photo of a female Red-winged Blackbird a few days ago. Since then, I have been trying to get a better photo of one. This is that photo. I love how much color and detail there is in this shot. It may be the best photo I have ever taken of one of these. She’s smaller than some that I have seen, but wow .. very cool.

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.

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.
