songbirds and flycatchers
 
Eastern Phoebe
This medium sized flycatcher was still just long enough for me catch its profile.

Prairie Warbler
This songster was a new addition to my life list.  It is a summer breeder here.

Chipping Sparrow
He has a beak that is crammed full with insects.

Eastern Wood-Pewee
The pewee often has a favorite look-out perch branch and will return to it in-between catching flying insects.
This is a pair of wood-pewee fledglings that are playing king-of-the-perch-branch.

Just how handsome can a bird get?

Carolina Chickadee
 
The bird to the right is the parent chickadee.
The bird to the left is a newly fledged chickadee – still very awkward in flight.
