Pacific Wren's are hard to photograph. Mike Reinhart heard one singing, played the song on his iPhone, and the little bird flew over to check it out. Once there, Mike got some lovely shots of this songbird with the upright tail.
To listen to this bird's beautiful call, here is the link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Pacific_Wren/sounds
Thanks to Mike for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
Mike Reinhart found four Tom Turkeys displaying recently. The Toms are hoping to impress the hens nearby.
Just look at their beautiful breeding plumage. There is a LOT of different colors going on!
Fun Fact: Wild turkeys can swim if they have to. They pull their wings in close to their bodies, extend their tail feathers and kick!
Thanks to Mike for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Breathtakingly beautiful day here today, with temps in the mid-60s. sigh...
