The Black-and-white Warbler is another bird I had not spotted in a long while.
This one showed off his upside down walking skills.
Oh, I see you!
And then went about his business.

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.
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.

A White-eyed Vireo on a quick stop to somewhere else.
A mighty song!
This fellow landed right in front of me, showing off his snacks, before he zipped off to deliver lunch.
An Eastern Bluebird flew from the ground to an open branch as I passed by.
A Carolina Chickadee was picking on the new buds of a Sweetgum tree with two of last years pods still hanging on.
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.
