Five more birds chillin’ on a wire.  Or at least metal.  🙂

The first two photos I discovered mulling through more of my “birds that need IDing” folder.  I found these two birds on a wire during a same shoot, had to work on IDing for this series, ha! 😏  I have quite a few angle shots of each of these and others (there seemed to be a family?).  I believe I’ve made positive ID on them, sharing my best shot of each one.

Eastern Wood-Pewee #1

If I’ve incorrectly identified either of these two as Eastern Wood-Pewees, please let me know!  (Both seen same day, same fence, September 2021 in Maryland.)

Eastern Wood-Pewee #2

These next three are those ‘metals’ I referred to in the beginning, counting as wire, ha!  The birds are too irresistible when perched so pretty on top of my feeders’ shepherd hooks.  Their blue background is shaded snow, all taken couple weeks ago.

Weather:  we’re on the edge of the path of the powerful Nor’easter, Kenan; tonight’s forecast for us is 4-9 inches of snow and up to 40 mph winds, no worries for us.  And that’s nothing compared to the blizzard conditions expected for the Northeast/New England states and eastern Canada that’s in it’s path.  Prayers for everyone’s safety and warmth!
