It is still hot outside, the crickets are belting their heart out, the glow bugs and bats are feasting, and we are having burgers for dinner. Soaking in all that's left of the summer. Happy weekend!

Wow, another fantastic day of birding! We went to the Lake Erie Marsh and the Sterling State Park. So many great birds, including bald eagles, eastern kingfishers, various warblers, tons of herons, tons of egrets, warbling vireos, grebes, swans, and so many more. After another 8 mile day, I’m pooped. Will share more photos soon!

We've had so much rain and storming that I didn't put the photo cams out, but the Birdsy cams are all rolling. This was earlier today, are on the move but I am getting a nice and steady stream. They don't like to share!

Getting this photo was a major adventure. I managed to throw my electrolytes out of whack during the day while I was scouting it, so I was awake and sick much of the night. Somewhere in there I was bitten by a wolf spider that climbed up my pant leg, which bite became infected. That ultimately led to four days of IV antibiotics.

Anyway, you can purchase a souvenir of my big photographic adventure and relive the glory. Spider bites available separately.

Hiked almost 8.5 miles today at the Indian Springs Metropark. What a beautiful place! The birds were pretty quiet overall, but we did spot an Acadian Flycatcher, which was super cool. Time to shower and SLEEP.

Flew the kiddos home from camp! Beautiful day to fly. So lucky that we get to do this.

After a VERY slow start (last frost was at the end of May), my garden is actually growing food. I’m currently drowning in zucchini and cucumbers. And even have baby watermelons and pumpkins!

The are also still around, and some are still feeding babies, but molting has also begun, giving some of them theb est and most dramatic looks. As if they couldn’t already do that with their plumage fully intact!⁠

I always like it when birds look distinguishable, have odd markings or behavior that I recognize. This Red-winged Blackbird seems to be growing new wings on his shoulders, and I think it looks really cool and dramatic how the sheaths are slowly turning into real feathers. He did like to present himself properly, too.

I am still trying to catch up with photos but in the meantime, check out a new cam that I set up temporarily by the leek blooms. The insects love them and there is a lot of activity going on. I am not sure how much of it the Birdsy AI will pick up but watching the stream alone is fun. And who knows, a Hummingbird may visit too! You can watch the livestream here: ostdrossel.com/livestream or on my channel on birdsy.com.⁠
