A warbler I see maybe a few times a year, an Orange-crowned Warbler. I've never seen the orange crown, but maybe one day!

Black-capped Chickadees stop by for sunflower seeds

An American Bittern portrait. These birds are often camouflaged among the cattails.

A Great Blue Heron coming in for a landing.

Peregrine Falcons are not frequent visitors to the park, so it was a special treat to have this juvenile make a visit. The bird perched for a few minutes before speeding off across the lake.

An absolute unit of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

This tree cavity was used by Tree Swallows over the summer. For some reason there was a lot of commotion from Eastern Bluebirds about who got to go in. These are two males, one who didn't want to leave and another wanting to get in.

A Black-capped Chickadee looks for the best sunflower seed

I see a heart created by frosted leaves next to this Black-capped Chickadee.

The American Bittern will stick his/her neck straight up to mimic a cattail reed, sometimes swaying in the wind to add to the reed vibe.
