It's not every day I get to see a grey ghost, let alone one thing close, and especially not during the last weekend in April. Mind and eyes gleefully blown! #greyghost #ghost #northernharrier #birdatlas #pabirdatlas #pabirdatlas3 #pba3 #getoutside #becurious #naturiscool
A mature Canada goose standing in a shallow stream, facing you.
I don't know why, but I feel like this goose is a bit melodramatic.

A female American robin perched on a broken branch, looking into the distance, away from the viewer.
A female American robin at dawn, perhaps looking towards an uncertain future (like most of us).

A Canada goose sitting on it's nest, neck outstretched towards you and watching warily. A dirty, discarded "Old Tyme" plastic bread bag lays beside the goose.
We almost didn't see her, as still, low, & watchful as she was. Unfortunately, it was the orange on the discarded bread wrapper that initially caught my eye. 😕 Bittersweet.

We were watching a Canada goose on a nest and never would have noticed this eagle overhead had it not screamed at us when we started walking away. 😂

A song sparrow camouflaged against forest floor debris (sticks, moss, leaves, and grass).
A song sparrow sitting in the open on a bare branch, looking back over its shoulder.
They have forest floor camo down pat, but need to choose their branches a little more wisely. 😉

Spent most of the morning, including a chunk of nocturnal birding, bird atlasing with a friend. The day ended with this bald eagle showing us the real life version of Sam the Eagle's (#muppets) usual expression. 🤣

A colorful sunrise over a silhouetted agricultural landscape.

Different fields of view, but the same beautiful sunrise over a friend's farm this morning while birding for the PA Bird Atlas.

While not actually birbs, we did stumble upon a pair of oddly placed nest boxes, which contained evidence of birds (inside and out!). 🦉 #easternscreechowl #screechowl #owl #owlpellets #birdatlas #pabirdatlas #pawinterbirdatlas #pabirdatlas3 #pba3 #getoutside #becurious #natureiscool
Here is, literally, the only bird that afforded me a shot, all. damn. day. But I am most grateful Mr. Pecker. Most grateful! 😄 #pileatedwoodpecker #birdatlas #pabirdatlas #pabirdatlas3 #pba3 #getoutside #becurious #natureiscool
From the top & from the bottom of the mountain we hiked, today. The wind kept the birds down, but the mental therapy was priceless. Loving exploring new stomping grounds for the PA Bird Atlas. #birdatlas #pabirdatlas #pawinterbirdatlas #pabirdatlas3 #pba3 #getoutside #becurious #natureiscool
Thrilling to see this. And great that you bumped into David. Saw him a few years ago in Vancouver when I drove up there to deliver some binoculars to the #Nigerian #BirdAtlas Project.
