A New Bird




This guy was in the trees..amongst the American Goldfinches, but alas
he looked orange ..compared to them.  Oh My, tis a new bird to our 
yard.. A Warbler perhaps???  

YES he is a warbler ..a Prothonotary Warbler, just a bit out of 
his zone, but that's the beauty of migration..new birds just passing
through. 

Rich nor I have ever seen one before..WOW tis so fun.  
Oh, a hummingbird flew at me today, but then flew on 
without coming back to check out the feeder. He'll be back!!!
