Pine Warblers usually stick to the trees but this colorful fellow was zipping around on the ground chasing insects.
These were taken at Charleston’s Magnolia Cemetery, which is a haven for small birds. There are lots of trees for shelter and the grounds are only minimally kept up and harbor insects of all sorts. Many of the plots are bordered with granite edging which helps these small birds trap lunch.
It’s that time of year again, the warblers are arriving. I’ve been seeing lots of yellow rumps.
Always fun to see the warblers, even if it just their rumps! Thanks for commenting, Roy!
Such a great photography site Ellen. How sweet is he?!
The number and variety of small birds there is amazing, and this one sure was a cutie.
Nice to see them on the ground and not flitting in the trees. Sweet shots!
Thanks, Belinda!
