Today is Miney's 1st birthday, Happy Birthday to Miney! 🎂🎈 ❤️ We started fostering Miney on Jan 11th and we officially adopted her on Jan 20th.
Photos are from the middle of May. My walks with Miney are always surrounded by nature, early morning walks are filled with the sounds of birds singing.

1. May 15th, another walk on our local fire road, I was walking Miney and listening to the birds singing. Most of my walks lately I hear the same birds below is the cute Blue-gray Gnatcatcher is a quick little bird moving around in the trees.
May15th, I heard more birds off the fire road trail during our walk with Miney. I think a storm might have been pushing some different warblers through our area. I do see some of these Warblers in the Fall in my backyard. They love the Devil's Walking Stick berries.
2. Below is a mosaic of the warblers and a Chat that were picked up by the Merlin App, top row is the American Redstart, second row is the Bay-breasted Warbler, bottom row are from left to right the Blackpoll Warbler, Nashville Warbler and the Yellow-breasted Chat.
3. May 16th, my Merlin App picked up the Wood Ducks sounds on May 15th and 16th in the same area of the fire road trail close to a cove area of the Prettyboy Reservoir.
4. May 16th, I am hearing the Eastern Wood-Pewee calling in the same area of the fire road trail.
5. On our walks lately I hear lots of Red-eyed Vireos.
6. Miney is always on alert during our walks, looking for dogs or critters. I think she has a good nose and can smell animals around. She goes crazy if she sees a deer running in the distance.
7. Flashback to some Shenandoah Bird July 2019. On the trail I saw a few Warblers on the ground. The photos below are the Black and White Warbler and a female American Redstart.
Another look at the Black and White Warbler.
8. Another Shenandoah Flashback from July 2019, a male Eastern Towhee.
