Made a trip to the east side to see if I could find more migratory birds and got another cool warbler. The Black and white warbler. 📷

Spotted this bald eagle in a tree and had to pull off the road for a photo. They are such majestic predator birds to behold. Their grace and skill is so impressive!

This little black-capped chickadee was full of energy, chirping at me and flying all around me, even landing on my camera's lens at one point (couldn't get a pic of that since it was solo walk). So cute!

Took a walk around Little River corridor and got a pretty nice shot of a Brown creeper. They camouflage so well against the trees, they are hard to spot until they move.

Your Daily Dose of Fluff 🐾
Got a nice closeup of these two sitting on a stump. I think I'm going to refer to them as "Frick and Frack" until they're old enough to separate from their momma. 😆

Snickers was having a kitty nap in my chair with the cutest expression on his face. 🥰

Went to the Festival of Hawks today and caught this osprey with a gar pike in a nice grip of his talons! 😮

Still my favorite shot of warblers. This mating pair had a nest in the bushes below and kept landing on this branch before descending deeper. I positioned myself out of view and captured this shot at 600mm on my Canon 5D Mark IV. A great day for 📷!
