Back in Ohio (for quite a while)

Coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused SCAD to switch to teaching online this spring quarter. While I’ve been trying to get out and hike, I’m quickly remembering that finding birds in Ohio is a lot more challenging than along the low-country coast. Here are a few shots from this week. The spring migration is not hitting as soon as I thought it would.

April’s ‘Pink’ full moon.

Here is a 9-image stack in Registax 6 of the full moon. April’s ‘Pink’ full moon is supposed to be the closest moon of the year. The blue-gray gnatcatcher below is one of the few early signs of spring in Ohio.
