Sweet sighting. Northern Cardinals are an everyday occurrence for us in our backyard as well as all local birding areas. But several days ago @CTGT and I had the joy of seeing our first ever cardinal fledgling, sitting in a tangle of bare, thorny branches near the ground, calling for its parents.

Missing this lovely winter visitor who was at our feeders almost every day from December 26th through February 11th. Hope it has found a cozy, warmer spot to ride out the season.

Happy #NationalBirdDay!
This Black-necked Stilt, a mother-to-be enjoying some quiet foraging time while her mate took his turn on their nest, was my favorite lifer sighting last year.
This year’s first fave lifer sighting candidate - a Western Kingbird quite far away from its home - delighted us on just the second day of the year. A quick sighting from the back on a cold, cloud-covered day made for less than ideal pictures, but you can see a bit of its distinguishing lemon yellow belly if you zoom in.

From disappointment to delight: If our extended family Christmas gathering hadn’t been postponed by wintry weather, we wouldn’t have been home to see this pretty little late-to-migrate Orange-crowned Warbler at our backyard feeders the last two days.

Big stretch … a female Anhinga extends her neck, showing off her expandable throat pouch, as she raises her wings to the side and grips the end of a dead scrag with her feet.

Dogwood in the shade. Cooling tree canopies and blooms complement the #QuietJoys of birding.

Chasing away the winter chill with thoughts of past summer days … and memories of a sun-warmed beach walk listening to the cries of gulls and terns, and watching willets forage at the water’s edge.
