Thanks for visiting everyone and sorry for the late replies.

Ducbucln, the bird had 2 legs it was just the way it was standing and the angle of the shot.
VA_Wild_Rose Huntley Meadows is a really nice spot for birds and other wildlife too. I've been checking out your photos on Flickr. You've been getting quite a few parents in little ones in action.

Early this summer I was visiting a local spot called Cheltenham Wetlands (about 15 minutes from the house) to see the happenings there. The winter months did not produce much for me except lots of sparrows. So I tried my luck during early to late spring. So happen this little bird, the White-eyed Vireo, was present as well as other birds (will post later). Although this bird is little, it's voice and song is big; it's another bird with a beautiful call and song. It was elusive for awhile but then one day I venture further back into the wetlands (further than I'd ever been) and as I was standing at this one spot where I could here many different bird calls, this little one popped up and gave me a photo opportunity. Although it was pretty dark in there, the shots came out pretty good.

Here's a brief description of the Vireo:

A small and secretive bird of shrubby areas of the eastern and southern United States, the White-eyed Vireo is more noticeable for its explosive song than its looks.
