It's not the best photo, but this was my newest lifer, a Brown Creeper. It's camouflage is great when on the trunk of tree, hard to spot.

Spotted this Great Blue Heron flying over Indian Boundary Park the other day. It kind of blows my mind that we have giant birds like this living in our city. I love it.

My Merlin BotD was the Red-Winged Blackbird. Found this guy hanging out atop a lamppost globe near sunset. I lined him up with the full moon then waited for a good shot of him making a call so it looked like he was howling at the moon.

A new lifer for me today. A Snow goose, a rare sight that must be making its way north. They made a stopover at the pond in the West Ridge Nature Park.

It was such a glorious afternoon I went on multiple bird walks. One of my first spots was the beautiful Red-tailed Hawk soaring over Indian Boundary Park.

Autumnal sunsets can be spectacular sometimes. Last night did not disappoint.

Ooh, I'm pretty sure this is an Orange-Crowned Warbler I spotted in the brush in Indian Boundary Park yesterday. Wasn't a fan of sitting still out in the open. This was the best shot I got.
