Warblers in the Hood

I have no idea what bug hit me in Duluth but now that my GI tract has finally settled, I have a such a stuffy head. Oh well, at least now that I'm free lance writing I can work from home in my pjs.

There were literally hundreds of warblers in the trees this morning--so many butter butts making their "kissing" chip noise that it sounded like quite the lovefest was going on. I grabbed my binos, a big cup of coffee, opened the screen and took them in.

You may not be able to tell from this photo but there tons of warblers in this photo above--they just match the trees so well. They were way to fast to try an photograph, but I did try:

Here's a blurry Nashville warbler...

...and a blurry Tennessee warbler. Look at how much that little dude blends with the leaves. There were tons of yellow-rumps and palm warblers and a couple of vireos.

After I warblered out, I got to work on the City Bird/Country Bird book. We're still in the process of adding photos, so if you sent some, I can't give an answer yet on whether or not your photo has been used. I will have the answer when we go to print and I will contact you via email. Right now we are in the process of adding Apartment Tips and captions. Cinnamon says I need to add bunny tips but they are just ways of feeding bird seed to your pet rabbit.

We have bunny that looks just like Cinnamon. But we keep noticing that he has tufties sticking out. Give that a bun a brushing and pull out his tufties before he eats them and gets a hairball. We love he cute antics and our bun, Louie, like looking at his pictures.

Duh and then I realized that Cinnamon is a girl - sorry - Please don't disapprove! Our Louie is a girl too.

Hey Sharon...I just refilled our bird feeder on Saturday in order to get food into the little birdie tummies of the migrating birds and I noticed last night that it was now only 1/4 full! Hungry little birdies!
