Clinton, MD(Zone 7a)

Funny (chump). You've got a new friend.

Nice shots and variety everyone.

Quote from Elphaba :
...The funny thing was that butterflies flew over him three times and twice he ducked! Here he is sittin' in the bog filter.

A bit windy today so maybe that's why this bluejay's crown feathers stand up. First time I've gotten a picture of him that way.

In fact, I got him from the other side too.

And one more, and an unusual pose. I like the fact that you can see the individual feathers on his crown.

We also are seeing the yellow rumpted warblers. Here's a shot from the back.

And here is a front view. Not as yellow as duc's

And of course there are the bluebirds. I have about a dozen that come around in the morning and in two's and three's all day long.. With the cooler weather there is lots of interest in the nest box.. Here are a couple of females peeking in and a curious young male approaching.

The one in the middle eventually went in, but didn't stay long. A male house sparrow was in there earlier and they probably had seen him.

A bird approached and they all scattered. Turns out it was a house finch.

This kind of shot is pretty easy to get. I must have shot at least 100 just like this one this morning. This is a young bird, waiting his turn at the feeder.

Here is the next shot. Hard to stop the wings when you are so close.

Wonderful photos Dave, that last one is spectacular. Love the crown feathers on that jay and your warbler may not be as yellow, but it's much clearer. Nice job!
