Glad you got to see the Scarlet Tanager! ❀️ I’m at the Biggest Week at Magee, so I’m missing all the parking lot action. 🫀

Last Wednesday we had multiple Blue-winged, Golden-winged and a Brewster’s in the parking lot. My neck got so jacked up.

Red Oaks parking lot is hopping this spring! Worth sitting in traffic to get there. Still awaiting the Scarlet Tanager’s arrival. Have you been there recently?

Just 45 minutes north of Detroit there are rafts of thousands of Long-tailed Ducks wintering along the open water of the St. Clair River between the US and Canada.

Well done! Now file it somewhere you’ll be able to find it in Nov…

They’re on the same branch, which is amazing. But trying to get them all looking the same direction… πŸ˜‚. I love them on the TV, that’s my fave.

Snow Buntings were our reward for winter brrrrrding ❄️πŸ₯Ά. Love to watch a flock of these little toasted marshmallows fly in a circle and land right back at the same spot. Howard Marsh, Ohio #Birds
