This northern rough-winged swallow gave me absolute SASS for its morning photoshoot the other day.

For 2 years I’ve tried to get a picture of a male brown-headed cowbird, and for 2 years I’ve always failed. Id army crawl 50 feet just for them to fly away just before I got them in my viewfinder. Every. Single. Time. But last Saturday, during the Green Birding Challenge hosted by the I finally got my chance. I thought I’d never get one, but all I needed was a little patience. Which reminds me of a favorite quite to keep in mind if it seems like you’ll never cross a bird off your list—“Never give up, never surrender!”

I cant get enough of these gorgeous, feathered friends. Every time I don’t feel like leaving the apartment, I ask myself if I’m going to regret not going. That thought of regret and what I could miss out on seeing is enough to get in the car and go. “You miss 100% of the shots you dont take” -Wayne Gretzky —Michael Scott
