Daily smiles

First stop- the bud patch. The oriole dines at this patch like piano playing, bud-bud-bud-bud, right up (or down) the "keyboard".







Not everything orange/black in this patch is an oriole.


Also into this bramble, the female black-throated blue warbler. Bugs are the menu choice.




Gorgeous yellow-shafted flicker. I hid behind a tree so as not to spook this bug hunting beauty.




Catbird, not colorful, but enchanting.



Blast of red tanager.






Northern water thrush at Azalea Pond.




Flashy redstart, male.




I have no idea what the dispute was about.


The heron did grab a small fish, but it happened too fast for a picture.




The common yellow throat warbler, flitting subject.




I could have color-coordinated this posting, all yellows, all oranges, all reds, all drabs, but posted as I saw it shows contrasts better.
