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.

High Ground
I love taking a photo of Field Sparrows. Their curiosity makes them a friend of my camera. They always take a high spot in the small trees where they can see what is going on. This one was in the trees and a photo was nearly impossibe. He flew to the a higher branch where he could check us out. Of course, that allowed me to take a few photos. I love it.

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.
