This Ring-billed Gull was hanging out with me for a while on a brisk morning. The facial expression is fantastic. 🪶

I finally managed to get a bit closer to the Bald Eagle pair today thanks to the thick fog keeping them at low altitudes. 🪶

A Song Sparrow hanging out in the backyard this afternoon. I used to call these birds "McDonald's birds" when I was younger, because I'd always see them hanging out in the parking lot of McDonald's grabbing food. 🪶

My most commonly seen Wren - the Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus). This species is actually the first bird that got me interested in learning more about birds. One of these little stinkers built a nest in my boot, so I got to watch them hatch and fledge. After that, I was all in on birding.🪶

I spotted this gorgeous Swainson's Thrush (Catharus ustulatus) by accident as it wasn't making any noise or moving about. We just watched each other for a bit before I moved on. A nice change of pace from trying to keep up with the Warblers. 🪶

Since the male American Redstart that I posted yesterday seemed to be of interest to you all, I figure I should post the female I photographed yesterday. She was every bit as frenetic and difficult to photograph. 😅🪶

I found this gorgeous adult Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea) yesterday in a nearby wetlands. They're rare around here compared to their larger relative, the Great Blue Heron, that we have tons of. Unlike the GBH, the LBH is only here during migration, so getting to see them is awesome! 🪶
