This post is more of a test to see if I can use the voice to text feature with Wordpress and blog while I'm doing a survey in the field.

Above is my current office view. I really love being able to work outside especially during spring and fall migration!

Large flocks of song birds are around me every day right now. The diversity of bird species in the cornstalks around me is amusing. Above is a Nashville warbler. It's so weird to see warblers and corn.

Here is a swamp sparrow that I was able to pish up out of the corn.

And wherever you have migrating songbirds you're sure to have migrating raptors to follow. This female merlin got my attention when I saw her sitting on top of one the telephone poles in my survey area. She was just finishing up eating a small bird.

Okay I've told my phone everything I wanted to say let's see if this actually posts.

Also all of these photos were taken by using my iPhone and with the bird photos it was my iPhone along with my Swarovski spotting scope.
