I was excited to see my first Rose-breasted Grosbeaks of the year. They were very noisy and very active, picking at the buds on the trees, chasing each other and also the Baltimore Orioles. There was quite a bit of action in Stiles and Hart yesterday.
Baltimore Oriole:
I also saw a Palm Warbler, which I always get really excited about because I think it's a new species of warbler for me but then when I look more closely I realize that's all it is. Still cute though and fun to watch.

I also got a (slightly) better picture of a Yellow Warbler, which I had seen in a different part of the conservation area a few weeks ago.

Yikes..I will keep trying.
Good job..Love the photos.
Looks like your grosbeak is dripping blood. tee hee.
@Larry: Switch to manual focus mode if you can. I was doing that this morning to get shots of a guy I saw on my way to work.
@Dawn- Thanks Dawn! I know- it is funny how that turned out. My pictures from last year look the same.
@Amila- Yes he does. In real life though he was very vibrant-looking :)
@Stephen- Thanks for stopping by! I still can't get manual focus right. I need to go back to my camera manual. I can figure out how to engage it and isolate what I'm trying to focus on but for some reason I still can't get the pictures to come out.
