I hear it is #Wrensday, so here are some house wrens from last Friday! They were singing up a storm all along the margins of the controlled burn area and lazy braided creek we were visiting in #CentralOR.

A house wren grasping a slender branch on a dead tree and looking over its shoulder, perhaps checking who has been listening to its songs. It’s quiet right now, shadow on its face making its eye look very dark and thoughtful. We can see the subtle micro-striping very well on its downturned folded tail.
This is the obligatory ‘singing its heart out’ wren picture! Even though a branch is in the way, I wanted to get one of the little dears in full cry: their slender long curved beak open wider, and the throat full of trills. This one has its tail slightly fanned as if in effort as it sings into the cloudless high-desert sky!

Big, tough Sharp-tailed Grouse looks like he's flexing his biceps to impress the ladies. #birding #birds #BirdsOfMastodon

My son loves to sit out on our front steps and feed the blue jays peanuts (in the shell). And now my wife and I have taken to doing the same. Jays are Corvids and that means they are very smart birds. They come around about the same time each day and announce themselves with various calls and screeches. We will attract upwards of 5-6 jays at a time; perching in the maple tree out front and diving to pick up peanuts we toss out.
Yesterday, our kid placed peanuts on a porch railing and set up his phone cam to shoot video of the thieves in action. No sooner had he stepped inside and the nuts were gone! Here is that video.

Any closer to this moorhen and I would've needed a macro lens.

Blackburnian Warbler: "The breeding male, with vivid orange in face and throat, is unmistakable; females and immatures show at least a hint of this coloration, but more important is the unique triangular facial pattern of black (or gray), also seen in all plumages." (AllAboutBirds)
"White or light gray underneath, various shades of blue, black, and white above." (AllAboutBirds).
"Males are midnight blue above and white below with black on the throat, face, and sides. Females [this one] are plain grayish olive overall, although some individuals have blue tints on the wings and tail. Both sexes have a characteristic small white square on the wing, sometimes called a “pocket handkerchief”."(AllAboutBirds)

Definitely one of my favorite photos from last year so I thought I'd re-post.

To me it kinda feels like the Eurasian tree sparrow is inviting you to explore the interior of the hornet's nest 👀.

My husband and I are on our annual spring #camping trip to enjoy the bird #migration. There have been so many fabulous tropical #birds who have come through southern #Wisconsin southern far this year. This Wood Thrush, one of my favorite species, has been serenading our campsite for over an hour. #birding #birdwatching #nature
