I still can’t believe all the life in wetlands found at the side of roads we drive every day. For many years I drove right by, I had no idea, peacefully going about their lives and adding to the sounds of the frogs. Just down the road from home.
This is one I thought I had a long time ago, however it was a mistaken ID… so I found the real deal. These ones prefer to dart away on the ground when spotted.
Here is one that I though I had but it turns out I didn’t. This is one of the most studied species and much of the birding community knowledge of bird song and development is based on these birds. iBird.
At home in the yard.
The name “grosbeak” is from the French word grosbec and means “large beak” … sometimes names are simple.
