The birds of Autumn

I've written before about frog stampedes, but during my recent camping trip, I ended up in a feeding frenzy. This chickadee was bravely holding his ground as I snapped photos of him fattening up for the coming season of snow.

 

A few steps further and this shy warbler was more nervous, but after the same prize.

 

I love being the only one down a trail. You never know what you'll find is you are quiet and respectful of the locals.
