I had to make a run up to Marquette County and did some general birding. I found a place where birds were coming and going at a water source and took a few images to share. Flocks of birds were coming through. A large flock of Sandhill Cranes circling above along with some gliding Turkeys Vultures hanging in the area. A large flock of Bluebirds hung around for a few minutes but none stopped for a drink. Some exciting action! Images were taken on October 6, 2015.

Great pic. Especially liked the Blue Jay Tail
Nice variety of birds. Every time in the last week I’ve thought I had some warblers, they would turn out to be Goldfinches. Lol. I love the Blue Jay’s tail.
3rd photo of the field sparrow is outstanding, Jim! And, yes, I loved the blue jay tail, also.
Beautiful photos, Jim. Thanks for brightening my day!
