My second warbler of the season is the little lemon wonder, the Yellow Warbler. I can't get over how adorable their tiny face is, just 💯 cutie pie. 😍

And for the first time, I was able to recognize its song and follow it until I found the bird. My bird learning only began 2 years ago so each little bit of progress feels great. An endless pattern recognition game.

My first Swamp Sparrow of the season. Not sure what happens at the end with the squirrel. I didn't notice it at the time. Hijinks!

Today really felt like with 80° weather and my first Warbler sightings.

So many Yellow-rumped Warblers! I counted at least 10 in one tree alone.

I was thinking about it and decided a group of Yellow-rumped Warblers should be called "a booty of butterbutts". 😁

American Tree Sparrow
Recognizing Sparrows remains challenging but I've managed to identify 11 different species so far, usually through photos and research after the fact.

I haven't seen many American Tree Sparrows but one day a bunch of them were hanging out at the border between the beach & the woods, posing nicely on the fence.

A rare moment with an Eastern Towhee and a Wood Thrush in the same shot.

I only have a few photos of Wood Thrushes and so often my Towhee pictures are blurry as they busily scratch the ground. It's not the clearest shot but I still love it.

I chanced upon a crow tamer. He's been feeding the crows shelled peanuts & hard-boiled eggs (!!).

This was the 1st time the crows came next to him. Will be interesting to see how this progresses.

Also, note to self: I need to get that bag of peanuts back in my pocket. I'm hoping my proximity to food guy will also buy me some crow street cred. They are notoriously smart.

A Great Blue Heron was fishing next to me one day at the Montrose Pier inlet.

What a look he gave me. 😍 Endlessly amazed at all their various poses.
