I spent a relatively short time in the yard on Saturday (8/23/2014) but had multiple visits from two species of warblers, and at one point I had both species in the watercourse at the same time and had to decide on my priorities for photographs. Here is a male Wilson’s warbler, still looking quite spiffy for a fall migrant…
And here are photos of the other species, an Orange-crowned warbler, looking quite different from its entry into the yard and in the middle of its bath…
And finally, an interesting photo of a Black-capped chickadee. We have a dead tree in the yard into which I have drilled some holes for feeding. When I’m actively in the yard photographing I fill the holes with hulled sunflower seed to keep the bird activity up. The chickadees and nuthatches love the arrangement. In this photo a chickadee has just grabbed a seed and, as is there habit, is off to eat it elsewhere.
