Stars and Warblers

I am stitching away on "13 Stars". Five of them completed thus far. Two more almost done.

"Hey guys!  What's up with all the Warblers around here?"

For three or four days I had several young Orange-crowned Warblers morning and evening.  

The great thing was that the birds lingered...

...and posed.

They worked the Bracken fern looking for insects.


Here's a pair.

Pose on a wire on the fence.

Pose on a branch.

I could not stop taking pictures...

I even managed a couple of good close-ups///

See?

Bird and blooms.

Three birds!

Chubby and fluffy in the morning sun.
I also saw a Black-throated Gray Warbler and a Tennessee Warbler but was not able to get photos of them.

I did manage a couple of this male Wilson's Warbler.

This is my first sighting of this bird for the summer.
Lots of Warblers, yes?
