6. Brown Thrasher (Toxostoma Rufum)

8. Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)

Most times I look up and see a large bird flying, I assume it's either: a.) a Vulture b.) a Seagull Recently, I've been able to see that a large amount of these giants birds I see flying around water are actually Osprey! However, I prefer their cooler name: The Seahawk.

These guys are basically bad-ass versions of seagulls, and it's sick. I love their white feathers! They also have a HUGE wingspan. Easily one of my new favorite birds to see around!

There's even a couple of protected nests near me, so I might update from time to time. Here's the most recent photo I've taken, which I assume is an angry momma waiting for her husband to bring home dinner.

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

Chipping Sparrow  (Spizella passerina) 

This is probably the most common bird that I see when looking out my window. These guys just fucking love seeds

Not complaining, they're really cute :)

5. Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea)

I've since gotten better at immediately identifying Herons and Egrets, but when I first got interested in bird photography, I would often get really frustrated when trying to find the difference between them

My mind still sometimes to struggle to grasp the fact that these are the same animal

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!

Aquanaut’s Holiday 2 (PS1 - 1999)

hi! came here from the Carolina wren post, if they nest in the flower pot like you said, will you update us? thanx! :D

Definitely will update if they do! They actually nested in a different pot on our patio a few years ago so I’m hoping they do the same again :)
