What Bird Did You See Today?

Also forgot about this we saw on my trip to Lake Wallenpaupack. Was cool to watch it fishing and catch stuff.

Tried to catch it mid flight to such a huge wingspan.

Thought it was an egret but may actually be a Heron after googling it.

Thanks! I'm still getting into birding. With the exceptions of cardinals and mourning doves most of the birds seem to be assholes. But they're endlessly fun to watch.

The asshole birds are the ones most visible. There are many other cool and interesting species around too but not always visible. Also different times of year trigger different activity, behaviors and migrations.

It’s worth noting that not all song birds visit bird feeders. Insectivores like warblers, flycatchers and many others typically don’t visit feeders.

Our second round of blue birds this year. We've had pretty good success for the past decade. The second rounders always struggle because of the summer heat. Recently we have been trapping a family of house sparrows, watching my wife murder these has been a treat 😂
The gift of having a back yard full of blue birds is them shitting all over the car doors angerly because their reflection in the mirrors freaks them out lol.

Wild turkey crossing Burlington Path Road. He ran right towards my car. Had to swerve into the oncoming lane. Fortunately, the road was empty.

This was yesterday during my morning ride off the small canal in Roxbury/ Ledgewood.

Last week as I was wrapping things up after cutting the grass I heard the robins and mockingbirds yelling more than usual, then I see this guy just chilling on the top of the telephone pole.

This guy on the trail today. I think it's a young osprey. He did not move while we were there or when we rode by. Might have been injured or sick but no clear sign. Maybe just young? Saw the ranger at the end of the ride and he was aware of where the raptor was and was going to check him out. Magnificent bird.

Back to visit the mint plant on the deck for some reason likes to dig around in the pot.

Zoomed in from the kitchen table through the glass door so not the best pic.

Saw this good looking fella two days in a row last weekend.

Thinking he’s a juvenile based on size and the fact he had zero issues with me and @MrsManic sitting within 10 feet of him just watching him fish.
Pretty damn cool.

And he’s still there…

Gonna have to name him if he’s gonna stick around.
Note the green jeans he’s wearing from wading in the muck.
