Birds

A foraging Chipping Sparrow. Has some prey in this last image, perhaps an ant.

How un-red-breasted this Red-breasted Nuthatch is. A female.

Yellow-throated Vireo. I don’t see these every year. Thought it was an another Pine Warbler at first glance with the yellow eye-ring and two white wing bars way up in an oak.
