Thanks everyone. Charley, I agree the past 3 months have been pretty slow for me, too and that's one of the reasons I decided to explore new territory. I have many more new spots to explore, too. One place I plan to visit more often is Monticello Park in VA for the migrating warblers.

Here are some shots I got the past weekend. You know it's spring when these guys/gals return - Tree Swallows. There's a spot at Merkle Wildlife area that I can always count on getting up close and personal with these birds. In these shots, I park my truck right next to where they perch and as long as I stayed in the truck they allowed me to photograph them. The Bluebirds perch at this spot to but they are a bit more shy than these guys. Both the Tree Swallows and the Bluebirds always seem to fight over the bird house just to right of these photos - an interesting sight to see. The Bluebirds are some tough little birds that don't back down either.
