In addition to yesterday’s chestnut-sided warbler pictures, I wanted to share some other beautiful things that I’ve seen recently. These aren’t the best photos, but they make me happy.

In order…

1. Sandhill cranes (Elkhart Bog Nature Preserve, Indiana)
2. Sora (Elkhart Bog Nature Preserve, Indiana)
3. Red trillium (Shoup-Parsons Woods, Goshen, Indiana)
4. Palm warbler (Shoup-Parsons Woods, Goshen, Indiana)
5. Black-and-white warbler (near Briery Branch Gap, WV-VA state line)
6. Red Crossbills (Briery Branch Gap, WV-VA state line)
7. Pipevine swallowtail (near Briery Branch Gap, WV-VA state line)
