I know that some of this will be a little outdated, but I DID say I would post them. What better time to take a look at some of the birds I saw this past Spring and Summer, but at a time when sadly, they have (for the majority) all headed south. Their voices and sounds are dearly missed on my walks, and the fact that I will soon be moving to the Pacific Northwest makes this even more bittersweet. This season is the last season I will hear and see these particular birds. My beloved Raven family, my little woodpecker friends, all those silly Mockingbirds, the skydiving Eastern Kingbirds over the beaver pond, all the R2D2 Bobolinks in the field, the little sparrows that live in the low bushes in almost any parking lot in town that will even eat chicken McNuggets... So lets look back at the birds I was able to catch with my camera:
