One of what appears to be a pair. Apologies for the quality. They're usually home to their lodge/den/abode just after sunrise.

Sitting in the yard this morning - over the mailbox - until discovered and driven away by Crows.

Spotted two in flight at Winona lake body launch.
Followed til I spotted both again at nearby field.

Bald Eagle with a fish in its talons disturbed a pair of nesting Kingbirds.

70 degrees - half a dozen foraging in the compost - sometimes not on their best behavior

Wild caught for banding and data and then released — so cool to see!

Shockingly large. Pacing slowly back and forth.

Apologies for the photo quality. We waited for a clear photo for twenty-five minutes as the cat approached. Once it settled down it was time to leave it be.

With feet not visible. Argh.

Two fledglings in the nest - wings growing long.

fawns were born mid morning on this day 9 JUN 2023

There were four individuals. I'm not sure the fourth photo is the same bird as the others. Reliable location for this introduced species.

One of two Virginia Rails seen and heard at same location yesterday.

Yearly flock breeding on my property. Flock of 20.

Turkeys were feeding under a birdfeeder above and dropped seeds. Springs in the air! Quite a sight.

Mating. Female was identified in previous observation.
