There are plenty of Red-winged Blackbirds in the marsh at Lake St. Clair Metropark. Males redwings are the first birds to arrive in March, and stake out a spot for their nest. They trill loudly announcing their presence.
Grey Wagtail - Motacilla cinerea
The species is always associated with running water when breeding, although they may use man-made structures near streams for the nest. Outside the breeding season, they may also be seen around lakes, coasts and other watery habitats. Like other wagtails, they frequently wag their tail and fly low with undulations and they have a sharp call that is often given in flight.
This slim wagtail has a narrow white supercilium and a broken eye ring. The upperparts are grey and the yellow vent contrasting with whitish underparts makes it distinctive. The breeding male has a black throat that is edged by whitish moustachial stripes. They forage singly or in pairs on meadows or on shallow water marshes. They also use rocks in water and will often perch on trees. They have a clear sharp call note and the song consists of trills.
The breeding season is April to July and the nest is placed near fast running streams or rivers on an embankment between stones and roots. The male in display, makes short flights up into the air and descends slowly with fluttering flight accompanied by a rapid series of chipping high notes. In Europe the nests are often made in holes in manmade structures. The clutch consists of 3–6 speckled eggs and multiple broods may be raised with declining numbers in the clutch in subsequent broods. The usual clutch size is five in Ireland and the breeding success is about 80% with predation of eggs or chicks being the main cause of breeding failure. The Canary Islands population typically have smaller clutches and the breeding season is not as short and well marked as in populations at higher latitudes. The incubation period is about two weeks with chicks fledging within a fortnight. They live for a maximum of 8 years in the wild.
In some parts of the its range the white-throated dipper nests in the same habitats as the grey wagtail and there are some records of interspecific feeding of dipper chicks by adult wagtails.

Captured this tweet little guy quite some time ago, but only got round to editing this one last night, another visit through the archives. He’s a very friendly one, he’s used to humans being at the nature reserve every day, and he even takes food from people’s hands. What a wonderful little character he is. Hope all is well with everyone and you had a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for all the recent comments and faves while I’ve been taking an internet break. Much love ❤️🌹😍
Finally got a wildlife lens, which was delivered this morning. 😀 Quite a bit heavier than the previous one we had, so I’ll have to do weight training. Just had a bit of a practice with it, handheld, in the garden to try it out. Will get the hang of it, I’m sure and will feature in National Geographic at some point, (dream on) 😂😂😂 Lots more wildlife images to come this year. 🐦
They look to me like a trio of birds singing :)
I've been really busy lately - will catch up with you all this weekend.
This hummingbird nests throughout the Western states but only in mountain elevations. I have spent time with the BTH in several states, and, yes, every time I encountered it I did so at elevations between 7000-8000 feet.
In the Mountains east of Salt Lake City, this species is all over. It makes a trilling sound as it flies by, and I never walked more than fifteen minutes without hearing one.
Perhaps not oddly, they respond very well to feeders. The host of a campground at which I stayed had perhaps a dozen feeders next to her RV. She said she goes through 3 gallons a week. How spectacular.
I simply stood and shot for an hour.
Taken near Fort Langley, British Columbia, Canada.
Shots like this are going for a song!
Another shot of a Warbling Vireo warbling away the hours that was taken close to home last June.

I had been hearing reports of a couple of Five-striped Sparrows being sighted in Box Canyon. Yesterday I decided to have my first real birding adventure to find it. Lucky for me there were people that pointed me in the right direction and I made my climb up into this beautiful canyon. The spot was marked clearly and I was rewarded when it made it's way up the side of the canyon and perched on this occotilla to sing a song for me...'what a trill'...:)...this is also a life bird for me.
Thank you for viewing and comments.
Trille ondulé
Trillium undulatum
Il préfère les sites humides et les sols acides. On le trouve dans le nord-est de l'Amérique du Nord. Au Québec, l'espèce est commune dans les Laurentides et les Appalaches, et on la rencontre jusqu'en Abitibi et sur la Côte Nord.
Prenez-les en photos, mais surtout, ne cueillez ni ne coupez aucune fleur.

White-winged Triller (Lalage sueurii) male
It has been greeat to see the Trillers in our area recently
Olympic triple jump champion Sandhill Crane (Antigone canadensis) dancing and jumping through corn stubble. The Rowe Audubon Sanctuary estimated ~300,000 cranes by this date, more to come. It is estimated that 80% of the Sandhill cranes in North America spend 4-6 weeks along a 75 mile (120 km) stretch of the Platte River. They socialize, court mates, and put on 20% more body weight before their flight to breeding grounds in far North America.
"The male adult Varied Triller is black above, with white markings on the wings and is white underneath, with grey barring on the breast. He has white eyebrows, a black eye-stripe and a rufous area on the rear underbody. The adult female is similar but browner above and her underparts are greyer with more pronounced grey bars across her breast. Juveniles are similar to the females.
The Varied Triller's nest is an open, shallow cup, barely large enough to hold a single egg. Nests are made of fine twigs, bark, vine tendrills, rootlets, plant stalks and grasses. The whole is bound together with spider web and lined with lichen or rootlets. The nest is usually in a horizontal fork, near the end of a thin branch of a small tree. Trees chosen are often paperbarks or mangroves. Both adult birds share the incubation of the egg and the feeding of the nestling."

Trilli nasce dalla prima risata di un bambino e viene portata dal vento nella Radura incantata dell'Isola che non c'è. Il suo talento è quello di essere un tuttofare, le fate che fanno e sistemano le cose...
"Quando qualcosa di rotto, un vecchio orologio riprende a funzionare, significa che una fata molto speciale è più vicina di quanto possiate immaginare..."

The varied triller (Lalage leucomela) like its better-known relative the white-winged triller, is a smaller member of the cuckoo-shrike family, Campephagidae.
Varied trillers prefer warm, reasonably moist environments and are found in New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago, along much of the tropical and sub-tropical coastal hinterland of eastern Australia with a particular preference for the border areas between closed and open forests.

In September the lilacs bloom;
the garden is populated
of hyacinths, daffodils and lilies
and the rosebush begins to open its roses.
In September the flowers
it rains thousand to thousand;
the orange tree is dressed in orange blossoms
and tender shoots are born in the jasmine.
In September the traveling birds
return to the country
and the air is filled with trills
and everything in September invites to live.
I too am a traveling bird;
I was born into the world
in the month when the lilacs open
and the lilies exhale a subtle perfume.

After picking up 53 cars and dropping 50 of them at Neoga, EIRC 1040 and HLCX 3834 rounded up the first two and last plastic cars for Hi-Cone at Charleston. Seen here at Trilla, the pair of units are seen rocking and rolling down the old Nickel Plate main.
The pied triller is a species of bird in the family Campephagidae. It is found in Brunei, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.

Little Grebe / tachybaptus ruficollis. Barton Marina, Staffordshire. 19/01/16.
I enjoyed watching a pair of LG's fishing close to a bank I was sitting on today. This one made several successful catches, including the Perch held aloft in my image.
Catches were presented to the mate, so I assume this is a male bird.
Interestingly, the mate wasn't overly impressed, only accepting one offering.
However, a canny BH Gull kept close watch and repeatedly tried to rob the grebe of any prey.
Thankfully the little guy stayed one step ahead and dived to protect its love tokens!
