About five minutes after yesterday's lifer, I saw this little bird near the feeder area. All I had was a quick glance at what I thought was a female RB Grosbeak. Up popped the camera for two quick (identical) pictures and the bird flew off. Later when I downloaded to the computer did I find out it was not a Grosbeak.
I have to admit that in the almost three years of looking at bird blogs, I have never seen a posting on this bird. It is a Northern Waterthrush...Yard Bird #101 and MN. Lifer #102. This is a good way to start out my next 100 of Yard Birds.
Two days later on Saturday, the little bird was back for some more pictures.

That's a pretty sharp looking chap. Congrats Richard. Let's hope migration time brings a few more exciting finds for you.
What a little cutie! You got some good ones of him!

One lifer right after the other! How exciting! You got some very good shots too. I see that this guy comes up into my neck of the woods so will have to keep an eye out.
Congratulations Richard! Your pictures are great!
