Charadrius vociferus - Killdeer
I love this killdeer so much.
White-throated Sparrow
Look at those bright yellow eyebrows, I love them.
And I thought to myself, "Do I really need to get up and disturb him, just to do laundry? No, I don't."
We had a lot of birds in our area on the Christmas Bird Count.
Once this chickadee noticed me, it stood up much straighter. It’s so adorable.
Tyrannus forficatus - Scissor-tailed Flycatcher
Scissor-tailed Flycatchers are so amazing, I’ve never seen them before my trip to Oklahoma. They were everywhere.
