We went up to the Heron Viewing Station north of Danville, Illinois yesterday. Though we only saw the Great Blue Herons from a distance or else in flight, this was a new bird for me. Looking in my bird book, I think it is a Sora....I don't think I have ever heard of or saw one before.
Just thought I might as well throw in this other shot.
Welcome back, you have been missed! I just finished reading your other blog, and now this one. Seems like you have been gone so long, but probably no longer than I was. I had hoped you would be ready to post again, but changes take awhile. Anyway, I missed you!!
Yep, that is a sora! Great find. And wonderful reflection.
ReplyDeleteI looked on my bird app and that is a Sora. It's so nice to see you back even if it maybe for a bit, but I hope you are back :)))
ReplyDeleteawesome sighting! i've never seen one but i've heard of them and seen them on blogs, etc.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of the Sora! I always remember that the Sora is the one with the yellow bill. Have a happy week!

Looks like the Sora in my book. Never have seen one out this way.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. Daughter will be fine----because I say so!! MB
I don't know what kind of bird this is, but I do know that you got a couple of great photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of it! I saw them in Tucson this year, or I would have no idea what it is. Aren't they odd little birds??
