‍ ‍ As Summer is just around the corner, Mother Nature is providing us with a gorgeous palette of colors across the landscape.

‍ ‍ A couple more flycatchers showed up this weekend at Iona Island.

‍ ‍ We are well into the month of May and the swallows are in full swing, making and tending to this year’s nests.

Why do two birds of the same species look so different? It’s all about sex.

‍ ‍ We are well into May and the spring migration of birds has begun in earnest.

It’s the morning of the “Break-a-hundred” birding event and we spend the first part of our day birding the productive Bashakill WMA.

‍ ‍ The second half our our day took us through the more eastern parts of the country and provided us with some new species.

‍ ‍ A number of nice views of spring birds as we prepare for the “Break-a-hundred” by scouting out a few prime spots.

‍ ‍ The Bashakill never fails to produce wonderful sightings of some marvelous birds and this most exciting time of the year.
