The first ovenbird of the migratory season stopped by the garden this morning. They are so ridiculously cute. Also, I never knew that they are warblers! Somehow I never cottoned on to that.

It's bird banding station day when the team in #Nicaragua sends me pics of #angrybirds #ovenbird #pasopacifico

An ovenbird stopped by - it is now about the time they finally set their sights south. See you next year!

Another apocalyptic day out there, but at least I had the joy of seeing a new species for the garden stop by - a dainty little ovenbird!

Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) thriving in Hickory Run State Park, PA. So great to see big, healthy #hemlock trees at least for now untouched by #HemlockWoollyAdelgid! #hickoryrunstatepark #Pennsylvania #forest

Sorry that I'm whispering but there's a reverence that automatically takes hold of me when I'm in nature.
