A couple of shots from #MageeMarsh today, a Sandhill Crane taking off. They're such remarkable creatures. Also they're 4 feet tall and only weight 11lbs which doesn't seem real to me. What are birds even?

This chestnut-sided #warbler made a pit stop in #Ohio during migration—looking fresh, energized, and clearly ready for the next leg of its world tour. #MageeMarsh

Interesting interference from foreground foliage.

🟡 Olive crown. 🖤 Bold throat. 💚 Green back.
Can the black-throated green #warbler be any more pretty? Photo from #MageeMarsh, #Ohio—one of the crown jewels of spring migration in North America.
Tiny bird, big journey.

Center frame stands an adult Green Heron surrounded by four of her five chicks. The parent was using this moment to pull the chicks closer to the nest from the surrounding branches and out of a potential harm's way.
Happy Sunday friends... Took another trip out to see the Green Heron nest, exactly one week later and could not believe how fast these little ones have grown, #birds #ohbirding #wildlife #naturephotography #MageeMarsh #Lucascounty

Eastern Screech Owl hiding in tree
🦉 We were scanning the canopy for warblers when @MoosePeterson spotted an Eastern Screech Owl, perfectly camouflaged and giving us the stink eye for disturbing its daytime roost. Sometimes the best birding moments aren’t the ones you’re actively seeking. #MageeMarsh
