The Forest Has Eyes

Free art

Not great pictures of birds I've seen recently. First a little green heron. Not green but that's its name. Then a Swainson't thrush, then an especially unclear picture of a magnolia warbler, two pictures of a warbling vireo, an orchard oriole, a female Baltimore oriole, and last a female indigo bunting. Yes, as a photographer I always want a picture of the gorgeous blue male indigo bunting but just think: this is what's beautiful to him! I've seen and heard about 75 species of birds in the past week and a half. I'm not very good at capturing them in pictures but I thought I'd show you this sampling as a reminder of the different kinds of birds that come through here on migration. I took a short walk to the woods and a shallow pond and got over 40 species. That will be lower in a few weeks. Migration will start winding down. Don't forget to run the Merlin app once in a while when you're outside! 💚
