My first Blue Grosbeak. Not sure how I avoided this species for 55 years. This guy found me in the Flint hills near Allen, KS. #thenatureofkansas #kansaswild #bird #birding #birdingkansas #nikon #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturalhistoryphotography #bluegrosbeak #flinthills #prairie #kansas #lyoncounty #passerinacaerulea (at Allen, Kansas)

It seldom happens, but when I do draw a crowd I like to share it. #kansaswild #kansas #flinthills #lyoncounty #backroads #countryroads #cattle #beef #beefcountry #nikon #naturephotography #outdoors #thenatureofkansas (at Allen, Kansas)

Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor). They're back. These prairie visitors have migrated from as far away as Bolivia in South America. #thenatureofkansas #kansaswild #kansas #naturephotography #nikon #naturalhistoryphotography #birding #wildlifephotography #bird #nightjar #nighthawk #inflight #lyoncounty #flinthills #flinthillsprairie #prairie #backroads #gravelroads (at Allen, Kansas)

Bad hair day. I ran across this odd looking critter near the site of Withington's Toll Bridge near Allen, KS. #kansaswild #cattle #badhairday #flinthills #rural #allenkansas #lyoncounty #kansas #nikon (at Allen, Kansas)
