Magee’s “Big Birds”
Today’s post comes from my recent photo trip to Magee Marsh, in northern Ohio, along Lake Erie. Magee Marsh is noted as a stopover for migrating warblers heading north, into Canada. But more than warblers visit this fabulous location! The second bird I saw at the Marsh, even before entering the boardwalk, was a pair […]

Here are some of my favorite […]

As their name implies, when they communicate, it sounds like a chorus of trumpets being sounded! I particularly love watching these large birds as they take off from the water, and […]
White-on-White
