What a beautiful day today was.  Wonderful weather:  perfect temperature, slight breeze, mostly sunny.  And the birds were out enjoying it as well.  We spotted what we thought was a woodpecker, but after checking the big book of birds, it looks more like a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker.  You can see in the photo where he’s already pecked his way through a lot of bark.  The sap from trees like this will not only feed the sapsucker, but warblers and hummingbirds will come and feed off the sap as well.

The little yellow-rumped warblers have been fun to watch, and today we saw another kind of warbler.  He has a rust-colored cap.  It looks like it’s probably a Palm Warbler.  I couldn’t get a very good photo.  They don’t sit still AT ALL!  By the time I find him in the view finder and get focused, he’s gone!  And did I mention they are tiny???  But my best effort today:

This morning I was catching up on reading some friends’ blogs, and stumbled onto a link to Judy Laquidara’s blog. 

www.patchworktimes.com

She has some interesting topics, including a Sunday Stash Report (you’ve GOT to read this), Quilt for an Hour, and Motivation Fridays.  So when you’re taking a little break today, go visit Judy’s site.  It’s a fun little trip you can make without leaving your chair!
