Steigerwald

Last day of vacation. Sigh. Slept in and then drove up to Steigerwald. First bird out of the car was a Lazuli Bunting! I've never seen one there and I didn't even have my camera out yet. Looked around and couldn't find it again. Turns out an Indigo Bunting has been seen at Sandy River Delta. I wish I had known so I could go there to check it out. Always a day late....

But I love Steigerwald, just take your mosquito repellent if you go. They were hungry.


Three in a tree. I assume Northern Harriers.

This guy was singing his heart out.



I guess the legs aren't the good part?

Bittern were flying all over the place.


Can't figure out what these are. Any ideas?
I like their feathery antennae.
