“The presence of a single bird can change everything for one who appreciates them” - Julie Zickefoose

This striking Scarlet Tanager surprised us by perching at eye level vs. its usual neck-ache-inducing upper tree canopy area.

Vibrant fuchsia. Spring is putting on a show.

Mother’s Day #lifer delight! Spring migration hopes exceeded on a sunny and birdsong-enveloped morning when this Wilson’s Warbler male literally crossed back and forth over our path for a few shaded minutes.

Happy Mother’s Day to those celebrating in the States.

Happy #MothersDay Eve.

About a month ago, we had the thrill of our first ever Red Fox kit sighting. We saw the vixen run across our path, then moments later saw this little one emerge from a crevice along the edge of the path. We kept our distance but @CTGT was able to get a couple photos.

They freeze. We freeze, then walk very slowly along the grassy path trying - in vain - not to scare off an Eastern Cottontail.

Pretty wildflowers in the palest of pinks.
