[mou] Birdie heaven with pics

[Thomas Maiello]

Wow!  What a morning outside my home office window overlooking several  
feeders and my water feature - and I am soooo grateful for the water  
feature.  within one hour and still occurring is a cornucopia of birds  
and even, for me, some exotics.  Visiting were a Chestnut-sided  
warbler, two Flickers, two Red-Breasted Grosbeaks, a Summer Tanager,  
some thrushes to be later identified by my pics, Redstarts,  
Nashvilles, Tennesees, a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers, a vireo later  
to be IDed by photo, a Wilson's Warbler, and then the usuals, unique  
today only that they were intensely intermingled with these exotics  
all at the same time - pair of Hairy Woodpeckers, many, many robins,  
chickadees, Downy Woodpeckers, Goldfinches, White-Breasted Nuthatches,  
many plain warblers hopefully to be IDed by pic later (my camera is  
still downloading with over 250 attempted pics with a slow digital  
camera - very frustrating) and many more birds coming and going not  
long enough for me to ID.  What a glorious morning!
