The Blue Jay's feathers are so gorgeous! The close up captures of the water are great!

Hard to believe that Kestrel isn't displaying his exquisite costume just for you/us! As always, many, many thanks.

Beautiful, Karen. Thanks for sharing the important news of the week.

Hah! The little guys always win. Fighters versus bombers, and jays are especially tenacious.

Here’s some news from our part of the world. I videoed a ruffed grouse sneaking across our narrow country lane this week. It’s only 45 minutes of exciting ruffed grouse action, but enough to make a hardcore enthusiast want more. Sometimes when they walk so slowly, I wonder if they forgot what they are doing.

The best news is the second batch of quail babies this year are flying. From fuzz balls to seasoned pilots in six weeks!

Just a lovely, lovely piece! May these days of migration be rich with subject matter and wonder for you.

Such wonderful photos! I particularly enjoyed the fracas between the jay and the kestrel.
