2. Palm Warbler (Setophaga palmarum)
Today I went on a walk by the river and saw this little yellow dude hopping around in the grass. There's something about yellow birds that I really love.
This guy looks PISSED!

4. Snowy Egret (Egretta thula)
Sometimes I think that Herons and Egrets are just nasty little freaks that hang out in smelly mud all day, but then I see them also give off such a beauty that really shines through the brown and green marshes.
I particularly like this photo, it feels so elegant, clean, and magical. Trust me I say that it smelled like a million eggy farts

5. Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea)
I've since gotten better at immediately identifying Herons and Egrets, but when I first got interested in bird photography, I would often get really frustrated when trying to find the difference between them
My mind still sometimes to struggle to grasp the fact that these are the same animal

hi! came here from the Carolina wren post, if they nest in the flower pot like you said, will you update us? thanx! :D
Definitely will update if they do! They actually nested in a different pot on our patio a few years ago so I’m hoping they do the same again :)
Chipping Sparrow (Spizella passerina)
This is probably the most common bird that I see when looking out my window. These guys just fucking love seeds
Not complaining, they're really cute :)

7. Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus)
The Carolina Wren has recently become a favorite of mine. They have such an immediately recognizable song that will never fail to get me to look out the closest window when I hear it. Today, one even decided to take a seat in one of my plant pots for a bit, I wonder if she's looking for a place to nest!

3. Double-Crested Cormorant (Nannopterum auritum)
This may have been the first time I've ever actually seen a Cormorant, so boy was I shocked when the first bird that I see during my walk this afternoon was Heihachi from Tekken
