Thanks for the kind words, everyone. But why didn't anyone notice I had misidentified the skulking warbler? I entered it as a female Common Yellowthroat when it should have been an Orange-crowned Warbler. I swear, there WAS a female yellowthroat in that area when I approached! :-)

Great photos. I love the Marine blue and being so small you got good photos, Congrats

The Hermit thrush and yellow-rumped warbler were here last week also, but my camera can't get such close-ups.

Love the photos. You deserved the break! Looks like some good ones for mystery insects for camp.

Fabulous use of your time, Trude! To think you could have vacuumed instead!
