    Got kinda obsessed with this bird. Love the color and his demeanor. I think he's gotten more used to me since he comes out of hiding more often to give me a better look. BTW, he's been here for at least a week and I have lots of pictures

  21. Yellow-breasted Chat

    Yellow-breasted Chat

    This atypical warbler seems to occur with regularity here in NS in Winter, presumably because of reverse migration. They tend to be skulkers, but this one stayed out in the open long enough to be photographed.
