Give Me My Pole

When I arrived at Garbry Big Woods Sanctuary one day this week I saw nature at work. There was a red-winged blackbird perched on this pole. Just above him this Tree Swallow was hovering. I could not hear what was happening, but I am sure there was some squawking. The red-winged flew away and the swallow took his place. It was cool.

Meow

I almost missed this Gray Catbird. I have heard a few of them but this one was not making much noise. Meow.

Back In Blue

We have been looking for an Indigo Bunting for a few days. Yesterday I was happy to photograph this one. I heard many more on our hike but could not find one. We kike 2.5 miles and I lost count of how many we heard. They are beautiful.

The Karaoke King

We have heard at least one Common Yellowthroat on every single hike we have taken this spring They like to hid in the tall grast, shrups and trees and I usually don't get a photo. It was cloudy but this one gave me lots of time to capture a photo.
