This way to the birds!
There were a lot of people out today - While I was answering someone's very loud inquiry as to what I was doing (duh!) John got these shots of a black-throated green warbler. Looks like I didn't crop them enough...the bird is very small - sorry. (The pictures with the hemlock showing are just so nice, I hated to cut it al away.)
This bird, a yellow billed cuckoo, had me puzzled - It was dark gray, not the slightest bit brown, but I don't think it can be anything else.

Blackpoll Warbler: This one required the help of my ID expert friend.This little beauty was taking a bath in the creek.
Splashing... 
Singing in the tub!
Golden crowned kinglet - my picture.....
and John's.
Solitary vireo - my picture.....
and John's.
White-throated sparrow - my picture....
Another of mine.....
and John's.
Couldn't resist the junco - they are still abundant in SNP.
The chipmunks are too.
"Butter-butt" - Yellow-runped warbler.
Phoebe (or wood pee-wee) his tail was on the rail and couldn't move, so I'm not sure; but his bill is all dark, so I'm thinking phoebe.
Wipe your mouth!
The flicker made an appearance.....John got it. 
Flowers by the highway....

So many great pictures - where do I begin! Limberlost must be the best warbler spot around! You're right - the hemlock with the green-throat looks awesome! You're so lucky to get the cuckoo bird from the front and get that TAIL! And the little blackpoll? Just the sweetest thing I ever did see! Love every pose - the first looked like he needed some wading boots - loved singin' in the tub!!! John will soon have his own blog - great shots!!!
I just couldn't wait to see the next pictute in this series. They are all fabulous! You have such a wonderful place to visit for bird-watching. Lucky you!! I certainly enjoy the variety of species. Wonderful work, as usual.
