I thought it was s sparrow.but then I notice its bill was narrow :-) There were a couple of them joining the foraging party with other songbirds - lucky to catch one!
A distinctive large flycatcher of the boreal and western coniferous forests, the Olive-sided Flycatcher gives its "quick-three-beers" song from the tops of tall snags. It makes dashing flights from its high perch to catch flying insects, then returns to the same perch.

Woodcock Creek Dam, Crawford County, PA. I originally misidentified this bird. It is an immature female Hooded Warbler, not a Wilson's. The white undertail feathers and tail edges (more visible on another photo) are diagnostic. A closer look also reveals that the olive on the head forms more of a hood than a cap. Thanks for looking and any comments or feedback.
I've seen a "straggler" bird passing through over the past couple of days (but no photo!), but these are photos of the last few birds left in the garden earlier this month... Fall migration continues... (ruby-throat hummingbirds flying south).
Not the best picture, but it captures the furtive, flighty habit of this little fall migrant. I heard him/her before I saw him and was so glad to catch a glimpse!
Looking north from the cliff top near Point Traverse, we found a sheltered raft numbering a couple thousand Greater Scaup. Later the raft was flushed by the Golden Eagles we had seen earlier, and it split into smaller groups across the Lake. But at this point, early in the morning, the raft floated lazily in the bay, out of the wind and rising waves. I had never seen a raft before. It was pretty neat. Obviously a third or more of the raft is out of the frame.
The birdflu threatens the cranes on their migration this year - the reports are devastating. Let's hope that enough will make it back next year!

Wegen H5N1 steht ihnen eine sehr gefährliche Migration bevor - drücken wir die Daumen, dass es viele schaffen werden!
It's been a few days since I've last spotted a "little bird" (ruby-throat hummingbird) in the garden, as they leave for the annual fall migration heading south (Mexico) for the winter. (not a bad idea).

A flock of Cedar Waxwings flew in, checked out the Highbush Cranberry Shrub, ate some berries and continued on their journey.
Mostly white morphs with three juveniles and two blue morphs. Looking closely, the one blue morph in the middle of the frame has an interesting eye, some kind of hybrid perhaps.
Ovenbird
S/he popped into view and was gone again all within 10 seconds -- a lucky encounter with a bird that's a lifer for me. :o)

Fall migration, just before sunset, overcast sky. eating dinner on the porch I saw moment in the Pampas grass...No way I will get a usable image? well, 6400 ISO with the D6, hand held, 1/3200 f5.6. Raw dodged 24% in Aperture ( I know, its obsolete and yet better than the rest). Denoised in Topaz AI, 100% crop. I am a happy camper.
The most common bird the weekend we went to lake Erie, by a large margin, was the blackpoll. Depressingly, these are the best shots I got of this multitude...
Even though they are more colourful in the spring like most of the warblers, this guy's colour is certainly one of my favorite in the fall migration.

A bit 'twiggy' but I like the pose and fall colors. This view shows the field marks well, notably the white under tail coverts. In Tennessees the undertail , even if not white, will always be lighter than the rest of the underside. The face shows the eye-line and lighter supercilium (stripe above eye), and the beak is noticeably sharp. In all fall plumages for this species, in contrast to in the Spring, the primary feathers (longest wing feathers) show white tips.
2 more species to post for the 37 eastern warbler sweep for 2017, a feat that I probably won't ever accomplish in one year again.
Before finishing the Iceland set with some amazing long tail duck scrum images, catching up on a few images captured during summer.
the annual Fall migration of the ruby-throat hummingbird is well underway. They are emptying out from eastern and central North America and heading south to Mexico and Central America. This mature male was seen in the garden the first week of September 2024.

Kept scrolling through all these shots that I forgot I had, and in the D7200 phase ... AND LOOK WHAT CAME UP! Am I blessed or what. Couldn't remember this, but look! It's almost like birding all over again.
A beautiful Yellow-throated Warbler playing in the world famous sprinklers out front. Have you ever! Thank You, Jesus.
