Brown-headed Cowbirds (male and female)

Hooded Warbler

Miles sent these pictures of a stunning male Hooded Warbler that hung about in his yard for a while. Hooded Warblers are a summer breeding visitor and common migrant to our area. I have seen more Hoodies this fall in our area than in the previous 4 years. A great bird to get in your yard!

Birdcam in Costa Rica

While we were in costa Rica we left our Birdcam hanging next to one of the hummingbird feeders. This is a video and a couple of pictures from the Wingscapes Birdcam. Over the 4 days that we were there, our Birdcam took 1570 pictures!!! If you would like to know more about the Wingscapes Birdcam, please visit our store website, www.wbu.com/tallahassee

Costa Rica pictures

We had a wonderful trip to Costa Rica and chalked up 129 species in 5 days. We saw 15 species of hummingbird at Rancho Naturalista including the beautiful Snowcap. Here are a selection of digiscoping pictures taken by Mary using her Nikon Coolpix 8400 attached to a Skyline ED telescope with a Swarovski digiscoping adapter.

I also took a lot of video of the lodge hummingbird feeders with our Wingscapes Birdcam so look out for that in a future blog entry.
