I saw this Spotted Sandpiper on the Great Miami River south of Piqua. What a surprise. They do migrage here over the summer but we don't see them often.

Focused On Lunch
We sure enjoyed watching this Great Blue Heron. He was in one of the ponds at .. several mornings recently. Most days we see him catch a fish. He totally ignores us when he is focused on lunch.

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.
