\nA big find for both of us ( a life list bird for me, and a new phase for Kim) was this Indigo Bunting passing through a<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nAnother view of this Indigo Bunting, which was in a transitional phase with its plumage.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nA female Prairie Warbler gathers down for her nest.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nAmerican Redstarts were everywhere. This male sat and watched us as we focused on an Orchard Oriole.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nA great find today for both of us, an Orchard Oriole calling from a dead tree on the edge of the forest.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nNothing comes brighter than this – the Baltimore Orioles seemed to be in every other oak tree, each one calling with it’s bright, melodic American Robin- like voice. I still have a lot to learn, as I still get confused when I hear a Rose Breasted Grosbeak, and a Baltimore Oriole – not to mention the Scarlet Tanager. At least I know that they are not robins!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nDeep in the cool woodland, where thrushes call, we came upon this songster, a Veery.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n\n\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nUnder the high-tension wires, warblers seemed to be calling from every twig. This masked marauder is the Common Yellow Throat – they always remind me of going blueberry picking with my parents when I was a kid.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nA pair of Cedar Waxwings rest for a moment in a dead Cornus. They were feeding on some Juniper berries.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nIt’s easy to see why they call this the Black and White Warbler.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/p>\n
