Bird menagerie



Yesterday, in the same chokecherry tree in which I had seen the male common yellowthroat on the 15th, I found a female, perhaps his mate. Actually, the tree was full of birds, likely attacted by the berries. Besides the yellowthroat, I saw in the tree or saw fly out of it, a yellow warbler, a purple finch, a robin, and a very indignant catbird! Here's the female yellowthroat (bottom), and the female purple finch (top).
