Birdin’ in the USA: Memorial Day Birdwatching in Flagstaff, AZ ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸

May 28, 2023

Respect and recognition for the fallen soldiers who have lost their lives in military service, today and generations before.

I’m really behind on posts and admittedly am writing this in October, about four months after Memorial Day. It’s officially hitting freezing temperatures overnight, so I’m loving reminiscing on the blue skies and sunshine in these photos. They’re bringing me right back to summer.

My sister and I spent Memorial Day at Lake Mary in Flagstaff, Arizona, keeping an eye out for birds while we soaked in the sun. It was a “Big Sit” of sorts, where we stayed in one place and casually pointed out birds as they came into view. I was surprised by the variety of species we saw, despite all of the human activity. It seems we weren’t the only ones enjoying the water!
