Snow Buntings were our reward for winter brrrrrding ❄️🥶. Love to watch a flock of these little toasted marshmallows fly in a circle and land right back at the same spot. Howard Marsh, Ohio #Birds

January means it’s time for some brrrrrrding. 🥶 Lots of room on the Magee Marsh Boardwalk in the winter. #Birds

Close encounter with a little murder bird! This Loggerhead Shrike landed right in front of me with eye on its prey. It struck out, but I scored a cool experience. #Birds

Bird crouched low on a branch, tracking prey on the ground. The bird is gray on top and white on the bottom, with a black “bandit” band across its eyes and down its wings.

Did some urban birding this morning along Detroit’s River Walk. Crazy how Canada is actually south of Detroit here. Logged Lincoln’s, Swamp, Tree and Song sparrows, two Peregrine Falcons, and six Ring-Necked Pheasants.

Westward view of Downtown Detroit from Detroit River Walk, including GM headquarters (RenCen), Ambassador Bridge, and Canada.
