Was hoping to find a bluebird.

Trust me. This was an awesome bird, never before seen on Nantucket. It was just too fast to the wing.

My job’s done here.

Single mother.

A gang of swallows.

Bird of prey to start the day.

James took a picture of a Red-bellied Woodpecker (male) at the feeders on May 8.

This morning there are three indigo buntings at the red feeder. Got a new picture of one of them:

And then there’s this little guy. We have several of them. But I do not know what this bird is. Any help?

When I think of wild turkeys and Nantucket, I think more people think this than this, but this afternoon I came across two loud and bold wild turkeys out in Quidnet.

Is this common on the island?
