Somewhere out there a Veery fledgling is hopping around in the shadows, an Empid Flycatcher is utterly indifferent to a birder's confusion (I think it was a Willow), plants are soaking up some much-needed rain, a soggy Song Sparrow is perched in a shrub, Papa Bobolink is making a caterpillar NestDash™️ delivery, a snail is scooting up a blade of grass until it tips over under the weight (I watched it happen..), an Eastern Phoebe is keeping a sharp eye out for bugs, a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is hammering away, Hemlock Varnish/Reishi mushrooms are decorating the woods with bursts of red, and an Eastern Chipmunk is actually just part of the bark (don't worry about it). Why don't you think about that.

This little veery , Catharus fuscescens, was cooperative and let me get a few pictures. None of its sweet spiral song though.

Just wanted an excuse to draw my current brain rots…

Mostly projecting my thoughts through Mikey and Raph about how the Troll movies progressively make less and less use of the little critters’ magic scalps, like Branch rlly should’ve gone for the eyes </3

I got my lifer veery at the banding station this morning :) dude has been my nemesis bird for years, I missed this same individual (recapture in photo) the previous day the ONLY time I was away long enough to miss a bird it was this one! He did get back in the nets this morning, it’s so cool to get lifers in hand aahhh

Veery (Catharus fuscescens). Family Turdidae, order Passeriformes.

My first one! I only got a brief look at it, just long enough to get a picture before it was gone.

Quintana, Texas, USA. April 2026.
