I saw like 6 thrushes today, 4 in the same area, I think that is a distraction strategy, so I lose focus and could get good good photos of any of them. Is that a least flycatcher? The song sparrow is the loudest I have ever heard. I even doubted it's identity. The highlight (in lowlight of 8 pm) today is the Indigo Bunting came, even cordially shared the feeder with the Baltimore Oriole, and I am kicking myself for putting the wind-chime there, you will see what I mean :D  :D

Swainson's Thrush? Least Flycatcher? And this is second time I saw a Garter snake in the middle of the path, are they catching sunlight? The first one moved when I was jumping over it, not funny!

Capital shot of a Least Flycatcher. I have not seen one of those this year.
I haven't seen much of anything this year since I can't get out. It's not
likely that a flycatcher will visit the backyard, although a Great Crested
did drop by twice last spring. As I recall it acted a little confused. Didn't
know what to make of the location. It's as if it merely wanted to hang
around with the other birds. I get that.

I always get confused by the size of Greatcrested, in my mind it is big like a Robin, but everytime I see it it is much smaller. and it had the most distinguished calls.
