Hi, these are one of our favorites that we don’t have in the city but are abundant out on the prairie to the east. LikeLike November 7, 2017 at 7:21 pm Reply
A sweet-sounding bird that I understand is in decline. 😦 A beautiful portrait you’ve captured of one, Mike. LikeLike October 24, 2017 at 4:35 pm Reply
