Exquisite birds!

It was such a nice day I could not help but head back to the woods. Amazing, there were no mosquitos yet! The Magnolia Warblers were busily catching bugs..

...this sure is a pretty one!


And so tiny - it is like a little butterfly.Look how intricate the design of the feathers is!






This one would not hold still, a Blackpoll Warbler.




Consensus is that this is a Philadelphia Vireo.



Nice to have a Blue Grosbeak lurking in the shadows! (Near the pond)







Ahhh, a Bay-breasted Warbler!








Always nice to have a Black & White Warbler peeking around the branches!







Hmmm - the top of this bird and yellow feet look like a female Blackpoll - but underneath the streaking says it is a Black & White.... I report, you decide! (I think it is a Blackpoll female)








Funny how the Black & White Warblers pay no attention to gravity!!













This is the Olive-sided Flycatcher, on patrol in the treetops!









This little guy is the Least Flycatcher.















And as I was leaving, Adonai blessed me with another Blackburnian Warbler. It is so very tiny at 4.75" - and so very beautiful! What brilliant colors!










If you look closely you can see he has caught a bug. I am loving digiscoping!
