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. 🫤

Get thee to Red Oaks if the weather cooperates this week!

Brewster’s Warbler with white and gray body and bright yellow cap eating a tree blossom.

Golden-winged and Brewster’s.

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?

Don’t got the meats?

Got me wondering.. good thing i checked! 😳

Love their perky tails.

Long-tailed duck with white body, brown and tan head and wings, orange billand long brown tail swimming on a choppy river.

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.

Love that Roadrunner

Great shots, those crazy creepers never stop!

Thanks, Jean!

Eastern Bluebird for #MondayMorningBlues. Love their splash of color during these gray Michigan winter days. #Birds

Congrats! I have yet to see one! 🥧

Love to see them in Michigan’s UP perched on tree tops.

Love Coots — great capture!

Much better idea than my Birds Jan-March file.

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… 😂. I love them on the TV, that’s my fave.

Love your Cooper’s Hawk family

Agreed!

Very nice! I spent hours looking on every treetop for one this weekend, to no avail. 🫤

Small white birds with small orange beaks and brown, tan and black markings on the chest, wings and back. Sitting in a snow covered grassy field.

Snow Buntings were our reward for winter brrrrrding ❄️🥶. 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

January means it’s time for some brrrrrrding. 🥶 Lots of room on the Magee Marsh Boardwalk in the winter. #Birds

Beautiful! Hope to see some in Michigan’s UP this year.

Great capture, Mike!
