This Black-capped Chickadee is an adorable little birb. He landed pretty close and almost immediately flew off, I was happy the shot actually came out nice.

It's one of my new Lifers from this weekend. Here, we have a gorgeous Magnolia Warbler. They nailed the pose, no notes.

I really liked this shot I got of a Yellow Warbler just yeeting itself out into space.

Good morning! Look, it's a Black-billed Cuckoo. This made me practice my manual focus because there were way too many leaves in the way.

Here is another sunrise bird, a Common Yellowthroat, poised to take on the day.

One of my favorite new lifers from this weekend was the American Redstart. I saw a flash of orange and spent a good part of my morning trying to track it for a shot. They do not like to sit still for too long.
