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.

You know what we mean.
Happy Friday to all and wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Up and over

The wind blows

The clouds move

I stand still


A female Red-winged Blackbird perches in a sea of cattails as she listens to the males sing.


In the blink of an eye it all just spings to life.

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

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

Thanks Mom.
