A Sky Of Dreams

The sky was so blue and spotted with a few small, fluffy clouds. Days like this are great. It reminds me of a time when I was young and I would lay on the grass watching the clouds as they slowly drift across the sky. I would dream of things to come. As we get older, we seem to dream less and stress more.

I shot this on one of the warm days last week. It invited us to come outdoors and dream.

A Yellow Rump?

I am about 90% sure this is a Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warbler. We saw several of them, but this is the only photos we were able to capture. We tried to get a better photo, but they were just too active.

Teresa took the top photo, and I shot the 2nd photo. I love the color pattern.

Migrating Sandpiper

I was surprised to see this ‘Solitary Sandpiper’ while hiking along the Miami River. I don’t recall every photographing a sandpiper in a river here before.

This quote is from the iBird App:

“Solitary Sandpiper: This species breeds in wooded northland regions of Canada and Alaska. It spends winters from southern Florida, central Mexico, and the West Indies south to central South America. Its preferred habitats include swampy margins of brackish pools, freshwater ponds, and woodland streams.”

I guess he is just passing through.

Making Beautiful Music

We were walking along the trail by the Stillwater River and could hear a bird singing. I really did not recognize it. I have heard Grey Catbirds many times, but never this call. It was so beautiful. This is the first one we have see this year.

Peaceful Fishing

It has been a while since we have seen a Great Blue Heron. This one was fishing in the Stillwater River, just off the trail.

It has been crowded at the various county parks and hiking trails. They are noisy and scare the birds sometimes. This guy .. he just flys away and finds a more peaceful place to fish.
