5. Little Blue Heron (Egretta Caerulea)

10. American Pekin (Domestic Duck)

Spring has sprung and that means I'm spending a lot more time sitting by a lake and watching ducks. It's a nice reminder that sometimes you just gotta let the water roll off your back and rest in the sun.

I just adore the vibes these guys bring, I can't be sad when I'm around ducks. They're truly nature's equivalent of just being a silly little guy

6. Brown Thrasher (Toxostoma rufum)

The Brown Thrasher is the state bird of Georgia (my home state), so it felt special to photograph them in nature. They're really beautiful actually, there's something about their warm brown feathers in the sunlight that makes me happy. They also have these piercing yellow eyes that really stand out.

If you didn't know, there's a few professional sports teams in Georgia named after birds: the Atlanta Hawks, the Atlanta Falcons, and of course the Atlanta Thrashers. Growing up, I always assumed a Thrasher was an equally large and badass bird of prey.

In reality, they're small and cute and I want to hold them :)

4. Snowy Egret (Egretta thula)

Sometimes I think that Herons and Egrets are just nasty little freaks that hang out in smelly mud all day, but then I see them also give off such a beauty that really shines through the brown and green marshes.

I particularly like this photo, it feels so elegant, clean, and magical. Trust me I say that it smelled like a million eggy farts

2. Palm Warbler (Setophaga palmarum) 

Today I went on a walk by the river and saw this little yellow dude hopping around in the grass. There's something about yellow birds that I really love.

This guy looks PISSED!

3. Double-Crested Cormorant (Nannopterum auritum)

This may have been the first time I've ever actually seen a Cormorant, so boy was I shocked when the first bird that I see during my walk this afternoon was Heihachi from Tekken
