This flowering tree just kept on giving: food for lots of birds and photos for me, including an entire flock of waxwings having a flower petal snack.

I was lucky to find this Northern yellow warbler #nesting in some treetop #flowers for today's #BirdoftheDay!

Whatcha doin' over here? 👀
I post a lot of Northern yellow warblers (Setophaga aestiva), partly because they're among the first songbirds to return in #Spring, but also because they're so bright and cute and expressive.

I'm feeling a bit fuzzy today, but this female Ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) was a bright little go-getter.
Maybe I should follow her example & try drinking *my* weight in nectar...
...or maybe just another cup of coffee.

This male Northern yellow warbler claims it isn't *really* having a #BadFeatherDay - it's a 'dynamically adjustable fashion modality' and ugh, you just don't understand it, rude humans.

The alt #BirdoftheDay theme is #Green, and fortunately I just found a female Ruby-throated hummingbird sipping nectar at the top of a flowering tree!
1/20000th of a second was more than enough to see her wings mid-beat =)

This cute little Magnolia warbler (Setophaga magnolia) gives me the feathery eyeball from the underbrush. Another of this year's proper first sightings - if only that blocking twig was removed!

Who needs Doordash?
For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #FoodInBeaks, this little Yellow-rumped warbler (Setophaga coronata) is about to grab a flying snack right out of the air.

It's always a touch disconcerting when a bloody predator stops eating and starts #LookingAtYou - even if you're pretty confident you would win the fight.
But apparently 20+ million Americans believe they could beat a grizzly bear while unarmed, so 😅
