Let the dog in!

Just wanted to show you guys that the Swainson’s thrushes definitely have feathers and that one on the left was looking at me, eyes wide open! (his little black eye is partially behind a twig)
Hey, lady, no nest shots!

I can’t imagine them flying off in a day or two, but that’s what I calculate. […]

Think REI, but […]

At first I thought it was a robin’s eggs, but (thank you, […]
