Where the birds call home
Space. We all need it.
Common Yellowthroat
A common Yellowthroat hiding in the reeds. This guys was darting around from cattail to cattail for what seemed like eternity but finally held still for just a moment to allow us to take his portrait and get a good look. It is always tons of fun to be able to observe an bird not familiar to you. A little surprise that makes the day distinct.
Willet
A willet enjoys the temporary ponds and the meals within created by spring rains before migrating to a more suitable habitat along further north.
Dreams before dreaming

Almost But Not Quite
Almost but not quite. Red Winged Blackbirds are back in town but the shoulder badges on the males are not quite a vibrant red and the sky is still a bit grey and wintery this day. Almost, but not quite, spring is indeed in the air. I can hear this blackbird singing.
Good Company
A mule deer makes good company while waiting for sun to warm things up in the early morning light and you don’t even have to share your coffee.
