150 Bird Challenge: 96/150 Tennessee Warbler

I found a fall of Tennessee Warblers in the park near my house and they were so very acrobatic. They seemed to be nibbling the tiny young cones on the tree and it was so fun to watch.

150 Bird Challenge: 95/150 Northern Yellow Warbler

You can’t get much more yellow than a Yellow Warbler. That color is so rich and beautiful, they are definitely one of my favorite warbler species.

150 Bird Challenge: 94/150 Ruby-throated Hummingbird

It’s so difficult to catch that Ruby gorget! I still really love how this shot came out, but that chin can flash so much brighter and beautifully so it’s definitely my mission to capture that.

150 Bird Challenge: 93/150 Orchard Oriole

Orioles tend to not like human presence in my experience, and the Orchard variety even more so in particular. They are very elusive compared the Baltimore but I still see them come and grab some jelly now and again. I really love that rusty orange color. Also pictured is a juvenile male and a really cute female.

FEEDER FRIDAY!
Indigo Buntings tend to be a little more shy and reserved, visiting feeders at cooler times of day like the early morning or evening.

150 Bird Challenge: 92/150 Indigo Bunting

The first time I saw one of these beautiful blue birds in my yard, I absolutely flipped! And who wouldn’t, the color is just out of this world. We’re on three years returning now, I love them so much.

150 Bird Challenge: 91/150 Lesser Yellowlegs

Many of these Lesser Yellowlegs were spread around the same marshy field I found the plovers in. They are so cool to watch when they dip in the water with that long bill.

150 Bird Challenge: 90/150 American Golden-Plover

There had to be hundreds of these beautiful plovers (that auto corrected to olives the first time 😂) in this marshy field and they were incredible! Such an amazing color and pattern on them. And I’ll never turn down a new lifer.

Definitely a favorite woodpecker species of mine, and in the later part of spring they are SO active, I love watching them hop and fly around trees.

Monarch butterflies are here! If you want to help sustain this species and provide a habitat and food source, consider growing milkweed in your garden. This is the only host plant for monarchs to lay their eggs on, and the only thing the caterpillars will eat.
