Maine! Song Sparrows

Song Sparrow: York County, Maine, USA, March 2024 — We had a somewhat spring like day yesterday and I got out for a short walk in an area I don’t visit often. I found at least 3 mixed flocks of Juncos and Song Sparrows feeding avidly in the short grasses and low bushes. OM System OM-1Mkii with 100-400IS zoom at 800mm equivalent.

Florida! Scrub Jays Underfoot

Florida Scrub Jay: Helen and Alan Cruickshank Sanctuary, Rockledge, Florida, January 2024 — When I did find the Florida Scrub Jays at the Sanctuary, they were, of course, right underfoot. Curious and gregarious, they come out to meet you from the brush, and I had them looking for bugs in the grass right at my feet. And yes, they do occasionally land on folks’ heads…they have landed on mine during previous visits…but they did not this year. Maybe the covid years and broken that habit.
