We've got the whole fam damily out here in the middle of North Dakota at The Potholes & Prairie Birding Festival. This is the fifth annual P&PBF and this year it's in Carrington, ND, a tiny prairie town about an hour northwest of Jamestown.
JZ, Liam, and Phoebe check out a prairie wildflower.We're hanging out with old friends here, both feathered and human, and digging the scene in general. Today the sun is shining brightly. Yesterday was like a day in the monsoon season. But the birds did not seem to mind.
Yesterday's avian highlight, a male LeConte's sparrow singing on territory.
LeConte's sparrow near Arrowwood NWR. More on this bird later.Today's: a couple of sora in a slough in the middle of the coteau. Breathtaking!
My best look ever at a sora.Must fly to the next activity here: a wine tasting for which Julie, Jessie, Ernie, and I are playing music. We played last night at Ernie and Ann's ranch for the opening evening's picnic. Much jocularity was experienced by all.
Tomorrow: driving westward to favorite places like Chase Lake and sacred places beyond.
Wilson's phalarope pair. Moments later, they were working on making more phalaropes.

Thanks.
That's an awesome Sora Bill. Glad the whole family could enjou it together.
Glad we got to spend some time with you and Julie in ND. (Work on those auctioneering skills, though, OK!)
Really, BOTB--where's the "hot all-bird action"?
