I don’t think this Warbler liked the suet, but it was fun watching it try to land on the feeder.

Recently I began paying more attention to the House Finch, which is usually ignored. They can be very expressive and a challenge to photograph.
I watched this male land on this stump, fly off, and then return. I focused my camera on the stump, and with patience managed to capture these photos. It sure pays to watch a birds behavior when trying to photograph them and is very educational. What a handsome little finch and a cute pose.

This Morning Dove sat on this branch for the longest time. It seemed perfectly fine, resting in the sunshine. There must have been about fifty morning Doves around our RV site, usually in the early morning and late evening; they appeared to be a little thin, perhaps they just migrated south.
