Obviously this one was high in a tree. I caught a glimpse of his tail, and then kept following him when he was flying!
This bird was singing around a bunch of trees, and I didn't see him until I had just about given up!
Another male (I got lucky!). He was perched really high in a tree. Such a gorgeous bird.
Large male foraging on the ground. This is one of the birds that I saw on my census of the bird sanctuary
Another one of my night walks. I was walking through the woods, and I heard one off in the distance. I quickly walked over to it, and it stayed perfectly still for me to admire! One beautiful specimen!
These were verbal sightings. I did catch a glimps at one of them though! :)
Flew overhead while I was flying a Harris Hawk. Beautiful bird, and amazing aerobatics!
Circling over the bird sanctuary looking for food....Kinda creepy to see so many of them circling over your head....
One of the largest flocks I've ever seen! I had to do the "birders estimate" on them, because there were to many to sit and count!
Two of them walking around on the floor of the forest.
Yes, I know this is a Sharpie. It was flying right over me, and at first I thought It was a Blue jay, but then figured out it was hawk. Sharpies were the ones I thought of.
In a grove of trees behind a ballpark in Southaven, Mississippi. Outstanding birds!
I heard them first, and then I followed them through the woods. Amazing birds!
9 of them flying around my house. They'd go WAY up, and then circle around and come back down. Gorgeous birds!!
Flying around the pond. It ticks me off that I can't get good pictures of these "EXTREMELY RARE" birds! The Warblers move to quickly!

At first I thought it was a Dark-eyed Junco, but then I looked more closely.
Two of them sliding down a tree branch by the pond.
flying through the woods by my house. I was incredibly excited to see them!!
They came and landed on my feeders, then they flew off into a tree. I'd post the pictures of them, if it didn't take so long.
I see everything at that little pond.
The female landed on my feeder first, then when she flew away, the male did a "touch and go" following her.
Possibly breeding pairs. If not, then I just have a ton of individuals visiting my feeders.
He was wading in the pond, then he got up and took off right in front of me.
Quite common in the trees near water, aswell

Came and landed on my feeder off and on the entire day! Beautiful bird!
In a tree above a pond
Quite possibly a breeding pair. I happened to glance over, and saw the female on top of my bird feeder, then I saw the male in my Trumpet Vine.
Flying everywhere. A very nice looking bird. I'd love to upload more pictures of these birds, but it takes FOREVER to load into Geobirds.
I found him by following his call.
I didn't see a female this time. The two males were running around under the bushes.
A breeding pair
They're everywhere!
Flying through the trees. They then perched, and played in the leaves.
They looked like they were playing tag! It's the funniest thing, watching those Gnatcatchers!
Alright, I know that this is a Sharpie! At first I mistook it for a Blue Jay, but as I got closer, I realized that it was a Sharpie.
Two males and a female. The two males were wrestling, while the female was hopping along the underbrush.
Getting a drink of water.
Came and landed on a log in the middle of the pond.
A mating pair, up in their nesting tree.

Landed right in front of me! Then took off again.
in a big bush around the water. I got a great look at him
Made his call while he flew over the pond.
Took me a while to track him down, he was actually foraging on the ground! Then he flew up into a tree.
Flying over the pond.
All over around the pond!
They were all over the place! Amazing birds!
Flying around in search of rabbits, I'm guessing.
All flocked together at on a baseball field. They were all running around the outfield.
There was an old barn that I've seen for years, but just decided to go into. I looked up, and in the rafters, there was a BEAUTIFUL Barn Owl!!!!
Wading through a pond.
Flying around a pond in Chesterfield, Missouri. Beautiful birds they are.
A whole family of them flying around the vegetation.
A mating pair. I saw them perched on a branch, and then the male hopped on the females back, and started mating.
Everywhere at this pond. They actually helped me see that there were 8 cottonmouths sunbathing right next to me.
Everywhere you looked at this pond, you saw another one.
I found him by following his call. I saw him up in a tree, singing away.
Flew off from a pond. Giant bird!
Hopping through the trees by the local pond.
Interesting. I was watching him in my backyard, and then he collapsed and died right there on the spot.

This little fellow was perched happily in a tree, until I approached him, oblivious to the fact that he was there. He did his little whistle, and I about got whiplash turning to look at him.

More than likely a breeding pair. Fantastic looking birds! They were just eating off my feeders.
