Birds of Butler County Ohio

Lately, not out as much as I would like, but if you look around, there is always an interesting bird to photograph...maybe in your yard or in a park or near some water.

Things seen through my lens:

Parents- to -be making numerous trips to pack the nest and make it stronger in preparation for eaglets...it was a dark and gloomy day as Joe took things up to the nest to companion Rosie, in Butler County Ohio
