Savannah Sparrow
Becoming my favorite sparrow
So photogenic
and they tolerate me
which is what I look for in a friend
and a bird
Bewick’s wren
Taking a dust bath
in the road
pretty standard stuff
Face covered with the blood of its enemies
or berry juice
hard to tell
Western Wood Pewee
Hard not to spell as
PEEWEE
Tree Swallow
You can tell
Because it is in a tree
Looking real sassy
Probably a wizard
Maybe a nutria
Common Yellowthroat Female
Collecting bugs
Mounting for her collection
(or feeding her babies)
American Bittern
Our target bird of the day
Always nice when you see
the thing you go looking for
Oh hey bud
Just a curious little
fledgling tree swallow
Looking fluffy
Fluffy and cute
Pretty Lady
Red-Winged Blackbird
Downy woodpecker
Cutest little woodpecker we have
Western Painted Turtle
Thanks to Sarah for pointing these out
I have been looking in ponds unsuccessfully
for months!
Bull Frog Eyes
Invasive specie
But I didn’t want to swim in
To pluck it out
Another good looking
Savannah Sparrow
Not so shy
