I delight in the birds I see in my new home on the east coast. My home is in a migratory zone, so I get happy when I see the egrets, cormorants, ospreys, and others return. The Common Loon hangs out with me over winter as do the little sandpipers. I am not as versed in the different varieties, so I enjoy your photos and knowledge of the birds. You have a similar way of observing the world. Kindred spirits? I think so. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you David! I did record the brown thrasher on my phone. My phone does a much better job with audio than my camera does. I don’t record a lot of video with my camera because it’s not great at it and it’s kind of hard to hand hold it. I rarely have a tripod with me. I use my phone a lot of times for Sunrise and landscape photos as well. For everything else I have a Nikon D500 with a 300 mm lens.
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing. My problem is capturing the small song birds like the golden crowned kinglet. I had to use a freebie pic off the web but yours was perfect! Btw I recommended your post on my journal today. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! The little song birds are hard because they zip all around in the bushes. Just takes patience and practice. I've been out taking photographs almost every day for 11 years now!
I could listen to that brown thrasher all day, thank you Karen
Thank you Chloe

I love this Dawn. Thank you.
Lovely words and photographs thanks and I hadn't heard of the Sibley app
Thank you Kevin! I use Sibley, Merlin Bird ID and eBird.
And the awe and wonder never cease…
Never! Thank you Clark!
As the birds help you, you help us. Your slices of Life in the Real World never disappoint. In fact, I am refreshed with each one!
Thank you Sandy!
Ah, Karen ... lovely as always. Your words, images, and sounds. Thank you for giving us a front-row seat for spring migration.
Thank you Jeanne!
That’s amazing seeing the ducks of central/south America 😳❤️👍 and loved hearing the brown thrasher singing ❤️😍👍
Thank you Sharon!
Wonderful! What type of photographic equipment do you use? Love the brown thrasher audio. Did you record it on your phone?
