Good morning, Whatbirders, and welcome to May! The random number generator came up with a pelagic, so hopefully the second bird will compensate.

As I was typing this, four Great Blue Heron flew past in a loose group, over the salt marsh behind the house, about 100 feet away and 50 up.

Wilson's Storm-Petrel

Song Sparrow

This was in North Alabama. Or were you referring to Aidan B's Song Sparrow? That's an interesting bird!

I was originally referring to your 'Bama bird but Aidan B's bird is one cool SOSP!

They look pretty serious to me!

I took this during last month's road trip to Indiana. This was shot in Charleston WV outside the hotel where we stopped for the first night.
