| The bluejays found a nesting material lode under a tree stump. Three jays were working the stump, collecting, passing twigs on, couldn't care less that I was watching. |
 |
| Can't help laughing at the redwing blackbird. Screamer! |
 |
| Surprisingly gorgeous "underwear". |
 |
| Near the Falconer loads of sparrows, at least 30 chippies. |
 |
| Mixed in with the chippies one field sparrow. |
 |
| Blue headed vireo. I stood under the tree and waited. |
 |
| The singing drew me to the yellow rump. Sweet song. |
 |
| He who stands and waits eventually sees something. The parula arrived. I didn't breathe. It stayed about three seconds before heading north. |
 |
| This was a first, mating cowbirds. I wonder where the eggs will end up. They will go into someone else's nest. |
 |
| Someone scattered corn bits. Mrs. and Mr. Towhee were delighted. |
 |
| My favorite for the day, little brown bat sleeping in Mugger's Woods. |
 |
| Yellow "eye brows", that's what caught my attention. Two very different sparrows in amongst a group of chippies. I didn't know what they were until later on when another birder identified the savannah sparrows from the pictures. Gorgeous bird. There was no getting closer. I moved. They moved. This was a first on my bird list. |
