A few others

The redstart put on a fine display.  It wasn't me. Bugs being tracked.

I can't ignore a strong autumn robin.

First song sparrow I've seen in a while. Busy seed munching behind the fence.

Upside down lunch, special talent.
 

The grosbeaks

I was watching for a hummer at the jewelweed patch when suddenly a grosbeak flew out and up to a nearby tree. I had only ever seen the grosbeak in the jewelweed. This was a total surprise, plucking something at the tree and munching on the berries. I've seen evening grosbeaks munching in trees but never before this bird. Astonishing.

 

A few more hummers

This little lady is boss of the patch. No intruders permitted. Tiny - strong determined magic.

 

Migration assortment

Lots of bird traffic these days. Follow the food, find the bird. The common yellow throat female.

                                            In the jewelweed as usual, the skittish grosbeak

                                                 The hermit thrush in favorite berry bush

                                                       Magnolia warbler after bugs

                                                          Yellow warbler hunting bugs

The regulars are also present....... the blue jay and the female cardinal.

Dove..... food concentration.

Robin..... also food concentration.

Sweet cardinals

No matter where I walked I saw cardinals, molting females, strong males, youngsters, left, right, all over the place cardinals. Good for smiles and relaxation. The parents are wonderfully attentive.
