Carolina Wren, Which Is My Best Side?
I had a rare opportunity with a Carolina Wren out in the open this morning, and on an interesting branch.
He made a quick flip before diving into the underbrush, showing me his other side.
This is a bird that has mostly eluded my camera despite how common they are, even in my back yard. I was pretty happy to get both shots.
Eastern Bluebird
Several Eastern Bluebirds were poking around in tree cavities, presumably looking for food.
Occasionally one would take a break.
I’ve seen quite a number of Bluebirds around this fall but this was the closest I’ve been when I had a camera in hand.

This fellow landed right in front of me, showing off his snacks, before he zipped off to deliver lunch.

Carolina Chickadee

Yellow-rumped Warbler
Taking time out for an itch a Yellow-rumped Warbler appeared to give me a wave.
Realizing he was noticed he hopped down the branch…
before flitting a bit further off the path.
Yellow-rumped Warblers Everywhere
This winter I have seen Yellow-rumped Warblers at all my birding spots.
Sunday was no different when they were zipping all over Magnolia Cemetery.
This fellow gave me quite a few poses.
The decaying plot fences around the cemetery are common perching spots, if only for a moment.
The tangled shrubs that hang over the pond were the favorite spot that afternoon, perhaps because there was ample sun to warm the birds up.
