I haven't gotten out a lot lately, partially due to my schedule and partially due to, well, migration's over man. But there's still interesting things out there (some even with 2 wings instead of 4).
I was hearing this chestnut sided singing down in the river bottom for about an hour before it really clicked on me that it might be worth trying to photograph. I had about 10 minutes before I left for work but he turned out to be fairly cooperative.
He was still singing away when I got home that evening. It was gone the next morning though, which I guess make sense since I've never had one on territory down there.
Prothonotary is another bird that breeds locally, but one that I don't have good pics of. Part of the reason is their penchant for the most mosquito-infested habitat possible. The cold spring has the bugs behind making this individual tolerable to wait for, just a few miles from my house.
I think Indigo Buntings were singing at about our first 8 stops trying to find a Blue Grosbeak last week. Right on cue there was one singing away at the Prothon spot.
Plus another of what I'm calling Midland Clubtail. They apparently don't have a problem with poison ivy.
