RobinHood Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Turned the dial the wrong way on my camera this morning - not the first time. The effects are interesting but it can make bird ID tricky. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 You can see off to the right of the 2nd photo why there are so many birds in just this one field. From today St. John's County FL. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you are in Michigan so I'm going to go out on limb and say you probably miss the weather here too. I understand Michigan can get pretty cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freshly mowed or plowed fields in any State can be good especially during migration seasons. Just a couple of examples I once stopped counting at 40 Swainson's Hawks all on the ground in a freshly plowed field in NE Colorado. My guess is there were at least 100. They were gorging themselves on grasshoppers. Fattening up for the long flight to their wintering grounds. Also I got my best looks at Mountain Plover in a freshly plowed field in Colorado. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you can find lots of goodies in the agricultural fields here! Just waiting for a huge flock of Snow Buntings to swirl in during some snowstorm this winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite times to bird is right after a snow 2 inches or so in say May. Brings all sorts of birds to the edges of the road where they are easier to see.  Edited August 23, 2021 by Clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can and actually I'll take cold over hot any day. My husband wanted to escape the cold in Colorado. I went along with the move because my son lives here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Well, I think Arizona's pretty great birding wise. You get a lot of different hummingbirds, and lots of birds in southern Arizona where Arizona is the only place these birds enter the US from Mexico. I was born there, too, but I'm not exactly biased because I don't even remember it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
