Had some fun with the camera today. 👌🏻 The warmer weather brings the wildlife out! What a day for birding! #wildlifephotography #wisconsinbirds #photography

A pair of sandhill cranes (the other adult is just out of frame) is walking their young through the countryside in early May. The brown fuzzy chicks stick close to their parents. Winnebago, Co. WI #wisconsinbirds #winature #birds

Two male Red-winged Blackbirds engaged in some fighting displays over spilled birdseed. I don't think blows were ever exchanged between these two. Birds are very territorial this time of year. Photo: Supple's Marsh in Fond du Lac, WI. Nikon z50ii 50-250mm #wisconsinbirds #birds #nikon

Some interesting birds from a trip to Manitowoc on Monday. Horned Grebe, Red-breasted Merganser, Ross's Goose, and Bufflehead ducks. There were many other cool birds on Lake Michigan, the Harbor, and the Manitowoc Impoundment. #wisconsinbirds #manitowoc #lakemichigan

Here's my first really good photo of an osprey (Pandion haliaetus) that I took this past weekend! Super happy with how it turned out!

Backyard vs. Wild
New birders always ask where to go. My answer is always start where you are. I found a Barred Owl in my own backyard. Patience beats travel every time.

Birds burn fuel and fat to generate that heat, and we can help by providing healthy, high-protein meals with lots of good fats by feeding birds during the cold.
