Down on the trail again. I was watching for the Indigo Bunting I had seen a few week earlier. This is the best photo I could get.
Welcome to Sawyers Landing. My goal is to share things I see from our backyard and neighboring woods and trails.

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (from what I can tell)
So I was out with Russ and had my camera (you never know what you'll see). Saw a bird I did not recognize (not even from a book). I got fairly close (as you'll see). Looked through my Iowa bird book and nothing. So I Googled "gray and white bird" and then checked Images. I'll let you decide, but I believe I saw a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. They do live in Iowa. I am including pictures I took and then also including photos from BirdsofIowa.com Click here to see page from this website.

Why did the (wild) turkey cross the road?
Apparently to get to the other side. We were out with Russ yesterday morning and were down by our community mailbox and saw two wild turkeys walking (strutting?) across the street. Didn't seem fazed by us or Russ. Last we saw they were walking into another backyard on our street. Wished I would've had our camera. What was funny were the wet footprints they left on the pavement.
