Quiet corners

I tried roaming today in corners where there were few other birders. Saturday brings out lots of enthusiasts and I just needed some quiet time. I did see one hummingbird, a glimpse, not a photo op. First, the redstart, female.

Lazy dove.

This was a young blue jay. I don't know what it was planning to do with this bit of twine.

Even younger....

The tiger swallowtail butterfly.

And finally, the carolina wren, song heard first. Followed the song. Sweet wren came out in the open and posed.
