I got back this afternoon from a birding and camping trip, and the migratory birds were GORGEOUS! I'm still growing my life list and ended up adding a ton of new birds that I spotted. Mostly warblers, but also a new thrush and swan!

Had a humorous Baltimore oriole encounter while camping too- I was standing with my friend and two fighting orioles nearly hit me in the face, but they change direction at the last second.... and then nearly hit my friend in the face before landing in the ground and a red winged blackbird swooped in to chase them all off.

Got any birding stories? Any cool birds that you have spotted this year?
