This little warbler really enjoyed the water sprinkler on a warm fall day. These yellow and gray birds are very small and migrate through in fall and spring. I usually only get a few days of seeing them so any photo I can get makes me happy.
Montell, Uvalde County, Texas during October 2020
Broadway was hopping even though it was a Sunday night. But this traveler looked a bit worse-for-wear. Bedraggled, but he didn't appear homeless. His boots weren't made for walking.

Built in 1897 and rebuilt using permanent materials in 1925-1931, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by William Crawford Smith as a replica of the Parthenon in Athens, which served as the centerpiece of the 1897 Centennial Exposition, a World’s Fair. The building was originally built of plaster, wood, and brick, and like many temporary buildings that were later made more permanent, was reconstructed out of concrete after the original structure had deteriorated after a few decades of weathering. The building features a colonnade of fluted doric columns with a gabled roof, decorative sculptures, an architrave with triglyphs, acroterions, bronze doors, coffered ceilings at the colonnades and porticoes around the perimeter of the building, and a plinth with steps up to the base of the building’s colonnade. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Today, the building serves as an art museum.
Beautiful Nashville Union Station in downtown Nashville Tennessee which is now simply used as a hotel, was once fully operational train station when it opened in 1900. The station design was done by Richard Montfort who was trained at the Royal College of Science in Dublin Ireland thus the distinct Bowling Green gray stone marble Victorian Romanesque Revival style in this wonder structure. The station was built by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. In 1975 Union Station and it marvelous trainshed were designated National Historic Landmarks as the 200 foot trainshed was when it was complete was the longest single-span gable roof structure constructed in the United States at the time. Then in 1979 L&N Railroad transferred ownership to the General Services Administration (GSA) which then transferred ownership to the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County in 1985. Sadly in 1996 a terrible fire damaged the main terminal hotel and the trainshed. The roof was removed on the trainshed exposing the steel frame and trusses to the elements that would eventually terminate with the tearing down the structure in 2001. The National Historic Landmark designation was subsequently withdrawn though it remains on the National Register of Historic places because of its significance in Nashville’s history.
The Nashville warbler (Leiothlypis ruficapilla), a small, vibrant songbird, embarks on a remarkable fall migration from late August to October. Breeding in North America’s boreal forests, from Canada to the northeastern U.S., these 4.5-inch warblers, with olive-green backs, yellow underparts, and distinctive gray heads, head south to escape winter.
They travel nocturnally, covering up to 2,500 miles to reach wintering grounds in southern Mexico, Central America, and occasionally southern California. Preferring mixed woodlands, they navigate using stellar cues and Earth’s magnetic field, often stopping in shrubby habitats to refuel on insects and berries.
Their migration peaks in September, with flocks passing through the eastern U.S., including Oklahoma, where they forage in low branches, flitting restlessly. Their faint, metallic “chip” calls echo in dawn choruses. Habitat loss and climate change threaten their routes, but stable populations persist. By October’s end, most settle in tropical forests, awaiting spring’s return journey.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
A record shot of a Nashville Warbler caught in a heavily shaded dark spot on the side of the road. Happy to see it but I wish I could have gotten better images of it. I had to really lighten it up in post processing, hence lots of noise. A couple hours later I went by the same area again but I could not relocate it.
I am really beginning to love photographing cityscapes like this scene in Nashville. While waiting for the lighting that I wanted for this image, the still water created a nearly perfect reflection of the skyline. As the sky transitioned from sunset to dusk, a huge barge came Rolling on the River (Yes this is a reference to CCR's "Proud Mary") and blurred the reflection for a serendipitous outcome.
A few more shots from our Nashville trip. Inside the Opryland (or as I call it, Opulentland) hotel and convention center. It is quite impressive

Spring 'Roid week 2017
So happy to see everyone this spring again. Starting off with a shot from a recent trip to Nashville. Found this great place called Long Hunter State Park and fell in love with the place on a quite early Sunday morning.

This Nashville Warbler is a nice surprise. I am glad it came for a bath so I could be sure of the ID. Home, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. 29 September 2022

Went back and photographed this very rare wintering species for British Columbia. Photographed on a rainy day in dark undergrowth then lightened, so yellow underparts not showing well.
