A new bird for me: Common yellowthroat

It seems the male was more shy than the female! My bird book tells me that it is common in North America, but unusual here in Southeastern Ontario. All About Birds has more info. Bless its little heart, it eats bugs!

Like you, I was mesmerized by this cute little bird when it appeared to be challenging it's window reflection at my place. Frustrating for it but a golden opportunity for a photo shoot for me! I love your blog! Keep 'em coming!
