Sunday Birding 7/30/23
I had a lot of fun birding yesterday! Saw some of my favorite birds and a few new ones!!
I didn’t see as many around the pond, but I still saw my favorite funky lil’ guy, the green heron:
You can also see a frog in the left hand corner!
Some juvenile red-winged blackbirds:
A mourning dove:
I’ve been spotted!
At the arboretum, had to take some pictures of some pretty flowers:
some water lilies:
you can see another frog in this one!
A wild Kansas sunflower:
Big flower:
A turtle, relaxing out of the water:
Another big flower:
A butterfly! So pretty:
I saw so many of these guys out yesterday! A male northern cardinal:
I saw some more snowberry clearwings too:
Another male cardinal:
A wood pewee. There were two of these guys out, flying around, getting some bugs to eat:
A downy woodpeck, perched on top of a feeder:
A female cardinal, grabbing a treat:
A male indigo bunting! I met and helped a really nice older couple find this guy too. He was at the very top of the tree:
Some hummingbirds!
A male indigo bunting again, singing his little heart out:
Some pretty yellow flowers:
Some neat purple ones:
I thought this was a cool picture, an indigo bunting and an eastern bluebird:
I was SHOCKED when I saw this guy! A blue grosbeak!!! I almost confused him for an indigo bunting, but he’s too big, and you can see the brownish-red on his wings:
Some more water lily flowers:
Other neat flowers I saw:
A bee getting some pollen:
one last hummingbird:

BOTD: Eastern Bluebird
Photo: Kelly Colgan Azar
"This is the most widespread of the three bluebirds. Although it is mostly 'eastern' in our area, its total range extends south to Nicaragua. A high percentage of Eastern Bluebirds in North America today nest in birdhouses put up especially for them along 'bluebird trails.' When they are not nesting, these birds roam the countryside in small flocks."
