A Songbird Seranade

While I was waiting for the Yellow-breasted Chats to appear on the prairie the other morning, I had several songbirds drop by to seranade me! There was a male Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis):

… a male Indigo Bunting (Passerina amoena):

… a male American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis):

… a male Eastern Towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus):

… a Brown Thrasher (Toxostoma rufum):

And although not a songbird, a Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) made a low-altitude flyover:

Another wonderful day on the prairie!
