(Setophaga americana) -- Northern Parula
A small warbler of the upper canopy, the Northern Parula flutters at the edges of branches plucking insects. This bluish gray warbler with yellow highlights breeds in forests laden with Spanish moss or beard lichens, from Florida to the boreal forest, and it's sure to give you "warbler neck." It hops through branches bursting with a rising buzzy trill that pinches off at the end. Its white eye crescents, chestnut breast band, and yellow-green patch on the back set it apart from other warblers.

I only see these big, beautiful doves during spring & fall migration. Always fun to look out and spot one.

Starting a new Creation adventure. This beautiful little Eastern Phoebe back in the bushes, enjoying the fall morning Florida sunshine!
A couple of Chestnut-sided Warblers in non-breeding plumage on their way to Mexico or Central America for the winter.
The Indigos were a lot shyer than the warblers during the fall migration. They were pulling tufts of fuzzy material from the grasses that they were sitting on and eating the seeds in them. I had given up getting a shot but as I was driving out of the parking lot I saw this one and took the picture through the car window opening. I liked the way the blue feathers looked growing in.

Finally saw some verifiable stilt sandpipers. We only see them during migration. There was a flock a good ways from me on the other side of a mud flat. Most of the larger birds with long bills are the stilts. Possibly a couple of dowagers too. Smaller birds most likely least and/or semipalmated sandpipers. Stilts were lifers for me.

Look what fall migration brought to my yard! I think the sound of the water fountain was the attraction. I looked out the window and spotted it.
