Little birds being watched by big birds.

My first blue headed vireo.  From a distance I thought it was a northern parula and wasn’t going to take the picture. I was thinking it was too far away and dark which it was but was glad I took the shot after all.

I thought this was an immature yellow rumped warbler but now I’m not sure.

This red shoulder hawk was on the wooded trail and watching the blue headed vireo. I think he is still a young one since he didn’t have a lot of color in his head.

This one was sitting out over the lake watching all of the little birds flying around. He may have just been soaking up the sun since it was fairly cool that morning.

A few birds on my walk around Chesnut Park in early January. It was a cool morning (45 degrees when I started) but warmed up fast. I didn’t think I was going to see much but the little birds came out as the sun started peeking out of the clouds.

  1. I’ll be going to Chestnut again soon. (but I need a better lens if I’m ever going to get shots like those (he whines). My 300 will never get me close enough before they fly off)

    Loved your shots.
