My bird of the day is definitely the brown creeper. This is the first time I have gotten a good photo of one. This is the angle he was on the branch, in Rockwood Park, Chesterfield, VA.

Got my first good photo this week of what I think is a hermit thrush at the Welands of the James River, Richmond, Virginia.

Yellow rumped warblers are abundant here on the east coast (Richmond, Virginia) and on the west coast (Jackson, CA) where I divide most of my time. #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Bird of the day: Red tailed hawk landed in a tree in our back yard and I got a good shot of him flying way.
