Birds, birds, birds

They are ubiquitous. Mostly, though, they are high atop our trees.
This song sparrow was a character on top of my flag pole/stick. I kept thinking 'headless horseman' as I watched it preen!



This is a Waterthrush, they tell me.  A new bird for me!


Once a year I capture the red-eyed vireo. This photo shows I am getting slower...not quite focused.

Then, as I walked by the Horse chestnut tree...look who is building a nest! The Waxwings.
I don't know if they are Cedar or Bohemian waxwings. They were here so many times, I finally got with it and hustled through the house, to the backyard, where they were flying. They are nesting in the large pine tree. I haven't a hope of spotting the nest, I don't think. It has to be a second brood. It's been an early spring, and they are doing well.

Red-eyed Vireo in sight and song

I love these little birds. I had to wait until I was Freedom 55 to see one!
One landed in my horse chestnut tree!


This video was made in June, at Murphys Point Park
