Thought I’d start joining in on #photomonday #Fotomontag 📸

I started photographing more #birds this year, albeit just with my phone
(and usually through binoculars). It’s a fun way to document species I’ve seen without having to bring along heavy equipment!

Here are two American Coots on Lake Michigan last month. A lot of #ducks and duck-like birds migrate here in the winter.

I’m getting better at identifying #shorebirds now that I live near the water, but I have to admit it’s tricky!
