TEACHer, TEACHer,TEACHer..

Wednesday's winds came from the north.. but Thursday's winds came from the south west and this morning the trees were filled with little visiting birds! As usual, those ole Warblers hung out at the very top of the oak trees, killing our necks as we tried to find them. We did manage to spot some Blk and Whites, a few N. Parulas, a Black-Throated Green and several of those cute little butter rumps... but this little Oven Bird seemed to be the loudest of bird of all. I've only ever seen one other Oven bird but today we heard and saw quite a few....

plus he really made this retired educator think of all the "many" creative minds she taught.. as he belted out his song that sounded like he was saying... TEACHer TEACHer..TEACHer. A calling I would much rather hear, these days, come from "one" cute little bird... ;-0

Looks like you have been seeing a bunch of new and different birds. Things are still pretty slow around here. I love the green a golden glow of your pictures, and your little bird seems to fit beautifully into the color scheme.

Hi Tina, The little Oven Bird is such a cutie. You got some great pictures. I can hear him singing now: TEACHer-TEACHer-TEACHer... Don't you think he was calling YOU??????

Aren't you sad about the horrible oil spill in the gulf??? I worry so about the birds and fish.. They say this one is going to be horrible. Makes me so sad---and MAD.

Hugs,
Betsy

Great shots of what I understand is a very 'loud' songster from within the leafy canopy. FAB.

I used to hear them on our birding trips in NY. I don't think I've heard one here. I'll have to go a looking!

Kelly said...

These are great photos. I've never been able to photograph one. I saw one on the trail on Tuesday, but he was too far away for a decent shot. I love listening to all of the spring warblers.
