It has been an excellent couple of days birding in Potter County, PA with Brother Doug. The birds have generally been in a 'willing to pose' mood. So, for the most part, I'm getting great looks if just get my camera pointed in the right direction at the right time.
13 warblers have been among the 75 species we have observed so far, including a Yellow Warbler with a penchant for perching only on stems that are moving...
An Ovenbird that finally left the tree tops to take a stroll on the ground a few feet in front me...
An obliging Mourning Warbler that happily posed on some sticks I put in place as a perch...
This curious Magnolia Warbler...
a shy Hooded Warbler...
and, this Blackburnian Warbler checking out cobwebs for a delicious bug or two...
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks have been everywhere.
This tiny Winter Wren was the star of the show yesterday as it gave us a tour of its hemlock forest home.
The wren was #461 for the year and I have since added a rare American Goshawk and lifer #558... a Black-billed Cuckoo to raise the YTD total to 463.
More pics to come from this whirlwind tour of northern Pennsyltucky.
