Pickwick Lake, Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, February 6, 2022

Canada Geese, Branta canadensis. There are so many small birds that flit around too fast to identify that I am happy to find large, easy-to-identify birds that stand still for a photo!

Have a blessed day!

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, February 8, 2022

White-throated Sparrows, Zonotrichia albicollis, are migratory birds that visit us in the Winter. Soon they will be going north to their breeding grounds around the Great Lakes region. Many of them will go even farther north and spread across Canada to raise their young.

(The vertical and horizontal out-of-focus lines are a trellis).

I hope you are having a good week!

We have had beautiful blue skies every day this week!

The Tennessee River is an hour's drive northeast of us, and there is always something interesting to see.

The boat is the "George King" owned by Marquette Transportation. It was built in 1976 in St. Louis, Missouri, and is 138 feet long, and 44 feet wide.

Have a wonderful weekend!
