Birding

During spring of 2021, I'm going to try photographing as many bird species as I can, posting the photos here along the way.


Downy Woodpecker


Common Grackle or Brewers Blackbird?

These two birds seem tough to differentiate, but I'm leaning towards this example being the Grackle mostly because we saw a flock of these birds in early March, and it seems like the range of the Brewers Blackbird doesn't extend to Michigan until spring/summer.

Photo from December, 2020, so a little early for this "Spring 2021" project, but it was a fun find in the neighborhood so I'll put it here anyways.
