Common Yellowthroat

These little warblers like tangled vegetation near marshes or wetlands, which is why I spotted one near a creek amongst all the tangly Witchhazel and Brook Alder.

American Goldfinch

These little birds are the swoopiest fliers that I've ever seen! Their flight patterns are like sine waves...

Black Vulture
