My wife and I were fortunate enough to visit Sydney last year. Did we see the Opera House? No. Did we stop by two sewage lagoons to see ducks? Absolutely.

It was a double rare bird weekend in Michigan! Tufted Duck and Barnacle Goose.

A Sharp-tailed Grouse is sitting on the top branch of a pine tree against a blue sky. The bird is fluffed up and round due to the cold temperature.

I went back and forth on what to post for my first bird photo to Bluesky but decided to include a particularly round Sharp-tailed Grouse from our cold weekend in the Upper Peninsula.

It's a Nothern Pariula, a warbler who should be migrating to South/Central America. It probably hit a window on it's way.
