Finally .. A Kingfisher

This is a male Belted Kingfisher. We have seen a few this summer but we have not been able to capture a photo. I mean, not even a bad photo. Teresa saw this one flying near the pond at Big Woods. I spotted him in a tree that extends over the pond. I am so grateful for this photo. What a cool dude.

Heart Warming

Northern Cardinals are special. They speak to my heart and spirit. I always feel close to nature when I see one. I feel the same about both the female and male cardinal. 💕

Peekaboo! I See You.

I was excited to see this Black-throated Green Warbler at Garbry Big Woods Reserve earlier this week. We don't see these very often .. maybe once last year, and this one.
