Gone fishing!!🎣 Looking forward to 10 peaceful days with no internet, cell service or... hackers. Just a fun time with good friends on a gorgeous lake teeming with wildlife and spectacular views. The fishing ain't too shabby either!!😉

 

An Olive-sided Flycatcher.

 

A nifty Yellow Warbler.

 

A Swamp Sparrow.

 

A regal looking Eastern Kingbird.

 

I expected the wings of a Green Heron to be a muted grey so I was pretty surprised by the array of colours on display during flight.

 

I wish the warblers would take a posing lesson from Carolina Wrens. Maybe they'd realize how easy it is to sit on a nice, unobstructed stick against a pleasing background for a second instead of flitting around the treetops and underbrush like maniacs.

 

Like a senorita looking for a tango partner, a Rose-breasted Grosbeak roams the treetops with a flower in her mouth.

 

A Bay-breasted Warbler that found a cedar tree in our backyard to his liking.

 

A fine looking Blue Jay.

 

Here's the Palm Warbler who finally, albeit briefly, came down from the treetops.

 

Sound on.

 

A Chipping Sparrow in a twiggy frame.

 

A golden piece of gosling fluff.

 

This Lincoln's Sparrow isn't the most vibrant bird you'll see today but he's still a pretty good looking specimen.
