It’s been a tough week. My cold is still lingering, the heat and humidity are intense, and the birds seem to be avoiding me.  If it was always like this I would have changed to landscapes a long time ago.

I did manage to find a few birds today, but other areas seem to be more productive than the places I’m choosing. It will be a better day tomorrow.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a decent Northern Flicker.

Yet another Brown Thrasher.

Chickadees were active this morning.

Downy Woodpeckers are becoming more common.

This American Redstart was by herself, as far as I could tell, but I’m more used to seeing flocks during migration.
