The red-eyed vireo is a tiny song bird with a large voice. I love hearing it sing as if hops from tree to tree.

Yellow-breasted Chat

These little guys were everywhere at Varina Land Labs (Central Virginia) last weekend! I managed to only snap a few photos because they were super fast and zipping behind the pine needles. Their bright yellow bodies were the key to spotting them. Life bird

We’ve never had Red-winged Blackbirds visit the house before, and I’d never seen a female up close. What a stunning bird! It’s rare for the female to outshine the male in appearance, but in this case, the ladies definitely take the prize. 🪶 #bird #bird #birdphotography

Snow stopped, sun peaked out, and our resident blue birds returned. I’d say today was a win. #bird 🪶

Some beautiful color against the grey of the day. I loved watching the Pine Warblers scurrying around the last few days.

I completely overexposed the background with the wrong settings for snow, but I’m glad I didn’t delete this shot during my first review. It’s actually one of my favorites from the day. The Hermit Thrush is such a beautiful bird.
