April 5 - Practicing Patience with Feathered Friends


Today I stopped at the Vanderhoof trailhead and walked south. My mission was to listen and watch for birds, with patience. For every tweet and chirp, I stopped, listened, and searched. I tried to avoid the pitfall of assuming there would be nothing out there but robins and cardinals and sparrows. This line of thinking really paid off, as I was able to photograph some new and different species today, including the close relative of the robin - the wood thrush, and a couple I haven't even identified yet!

They make themselves heard
Quite often they can be seen
Will they pose for me?
