I absolutely adore Cedar Waxwings, they are so much fun to watch bouncing from tree to tree.

Caught this little one while walking along the Erie Canal in Oneida County ❤️

A group of Bobolinks watching us walk down the path. The amount of birds and other animals living in these open grassy fields truly gives you an appreciation for their importance. #birds #bird #🪶 #ibirdny #thisisupstate

This was an awesome experience! I had the opportunity to bird with an amazing individual in the Saratoga area, he brought me right to this little Clay-colored Sparrow. This tiny bird is not at all common in our area 🥰 #bird #birds #ibirdny #🪶

A cheery little Savannah Sparrow found and Pitney Farms in Saratoga. This pleasant little fellow seemed quite inquisitive as he watched my family from the tall grass. #bird #birds #ibirdny #thisisupstate
