trip to Adam's County Ohio- saw a lot of birds...

[tigereye]

including bluebirds! I somehow had never seen any before!)

Cowbird pair (boo hiss)


Summer tanager

Eastern Phoebe (woke us up at the b and b we stayed at)

barn swallows (well, I had seen plenty of those before)

Purple Martins ( I had seen em as a kid)

Red winged blackbirds

Blue heron

grackles

carolina wren

house wren


we saw a lot of hawks and we think this is a red tail? What do you guys think? They were difficult to see, but the view of the wings from below showed a half white, and half-black divide.
