Not a great picture, but #Lifer pie for our backyard and us. A pair of male American redstarts visited us this morning. One flew off before we got a pic, but we got a blurry pic of one flitting hyperactively about in our bushes. 🪶 #BackyardBirds

📸 American redstart: Setophaga ruticilla

I saw something sparkling in one of my backyard rose bushes. It turned out to be metallic silver ribbon, so I figured it had blown over the fence from a neighbor.

I did not expect to follow it to the most FABULOUS bird’s nest ever. 🕊️🐦🪺

A common yellowthroat appeared in our yard today. That's a first for our yard ... and for hubby. Happy #Lifer to him. 🪶 #BackyardBirds #ThroughMyDirtyKitchenWindow™️

📸 Common yellowthroat: Geothlypis trichas
An olive bird with just a peek at her yellow throat, facing right, stands on top of our black garden hose and picks through our backyard grass from above for bugs. An olive bird with a great view of her yellow throat perches in our camellia bush trying to avoid the rain.
