A handful of adult and juvenile Eastern Kingbirds entertained us at Blackwater NWR last year, singing and flitting back and forth between the trees along the road between marsh ponds. We finally got a shot of these two against a gorgeous blue sky.

The Sandhill Cranes bugling calls were awesome. SACR 2/2

Our first and closest sighting of Sandhill Cranes taken several years ago when a pair visited a wetland marsh in our area far from their normal range. We approached the secluded area quietly and crouched in a thicket of bushes and trees to ensure we didn’t disturb them. SACR 1/2

“May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow. May the soft winds freshen your spirit. May the sunshine brighten your heart. May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you. And may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.” - Irish Blessing
