Carolina Chickadee

Setophaga dominica - Yellow-throated Warbler

Piranga olivacea - Scarlet Tanager

This is actually the first scarlet tanager I’ve ever seen. 

Imagine how many cool bird discoveries there would be if everyone knew how to identify birds. Everyone would know exactly what bird they're looking at. Like, "Woah, hey, check out this new bird species I found today. I know it's a new species because it's nothing like any other bird. Ha ha. Yeah. I know birds."

The water at my creek is always so clear in the fall and winter.

I haven't seen too many birds yet since we're still driving, but I'm taking this extremely bird-like cloud as a sign that I'm going to see some really cool birds.

Setophaga coronata - Yellow-rumped Warbler
