On today's birding adventure I was certain I had two extra full batteries for my camera....turns out I did not. Of course there were birds everywhere, and I only managed these 3 captures of a Savannah Sparrow.

This Northern Cardinal has been waking me up every morning for at least the last month (maybe two). Everyday, perched on the same scrag branch. I should have done a photo series. 🤣🥰♥️ #birds, #urbanbirding, #nature, #joy, #ontario_birding, #backyardbirds

I spent three days in the wilderness with 35 eleven and twelve year olds. It was an amazing time for birding, but not so much photography. I had to make do with an old digital camera. It didn't do this amazing museum of Cedar Waxwings justice.

The Liberace of birds (imo). I love the Bobolink. Not a bird I see in the city, but worth the 2+ hr drive northeast to find them.

Throwback to last Spring when I spotted this Prothonotary Warbler. The warmer weather has me excited for Spring migration. I wonder what I discover this season. 🥰
