Mallards quacked and warblers warbled. A good day all in all.

Happy Couple
A happy Lesser Scaup couple cruises the water and provides aa nice splash of color to what was a cool and overcast early spring day.
On the banks of the green
On the banks of the Green River looking back at time.
The fresh green of spring heralds another year has passed while the rocks have a greater story to tell.
New
Join me in welcoming a new baby Killdeer to this wonderful world of ours.
Hiding in the tall grass we spotted just a hint of movement as we went by and low and behold we found this guy along with his siblings zipping to and fro exploring their new surrounding. He posed for a quick portrait and them hustled back to the clan. All was good in the grass along the ditch.
When one plus one is one.
You know what we mean.
Happy Friday to all and wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Up and over
Up and over
The wind blows
The clouds move
I stand still
Red-winged Blackbird

As the snow melts
In the blink of an eye it all just spings to life.
White-crowned Sparrow

We love listening to adults sing their songs each spring and according to the All About Birds website:
A young male White-crowned Sparrow learns the basics of the song it will sing as an adult during the first two or three months of its life. It does not learn directly from its father, but rather from the generalized song environment of its natal neighborhood.bird

A Robin’s Song
All across North America from north to south and east to west spring would feel incomplete without a Robin’s Song.
