male Pine warbler checking me out

I was shooting some flowers on the deck when one of our Pine warblers came down to eat and check me out - allowing for some close shots. They're very tame. Yesterday at 4pm I was in the right place to watch 1,100 more Sandhill cranes go over! A birder pal was waiting for them a few miles to the north but few showed up ... which means they were heading for the next big roosting area in Hiwassee, Tennessee before dark.

 

For frog fans: here's a video of Spring peepers & S leopard frogs outdoing the chorus frogs. I also heard foty American toads (a high whistle) and found their eggs:

I'm supposed to be in a sling from my fall but I'm not being a good patient. Happy Feathery Friday!
