last Tuesday morning at Springbrook

I love to go birding early in the morning -- around sunrise. Not only are the birds more active, but for picture taking, the light is warmer and softer.

The geese are more busy than ever defending their territory.

The female Red-winged Blackbirds are back.

And the males are glad!
