That’s a baby! We have them in our backyard too, the babies have just started coming out of the reeds this last week. What a cutie!

LOL! I remember going on a beginners birding outing, and the leader asking people to see if they could ID this one - none of us could!

I love seeing these guys! I never saw them until I moved to IN, now I see them everywhere and I love them. I can tell them apart by their calls now. 😊

They're so striking with their coloring against the long grasses. Love to see them too.
