It's Getting Alittle Exciting Out There!

I'm seeing new migrants every day now:



Red-breasted Nuthatch!










American White Pelicans!









Tree Swallow!









And even Painted turtles!

Sorry for the short post, sometimes work gets in the way of fun!

Spring Migration: Some are Coming, Some are Going

I went exploring at Gebhard Woods in Morris IL yesterday, to find some migrators and found a Yellow Rumped Warbler, but the shot was crap, and 2 Wood Ducks that flushed before I could snag a shot, and... these:

Great Blue Herons are arriving for their pick of nesting sites.



A Red-breasted Nuthatch will be leaving very soon to find its summer grounds...
