American Sycamore
If you see a lot of white-barked large trees off in the distance, you can bet that there is a river or creek (or body of water) nearby!
Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly
These butterflies like to have their orgy parties on the gravel roads around here.
Sassafras
The root beer tree!
Tulip Poplar
I love this tree because my honey bees love it.
Yellow-breasted Chat
This bird shares the award for Longest Time Took to Figure Out What Bird Is Making that Call (the Woodcock was the other one).
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.
Orchard Oriole
Literally heard this bird while I was in the orchard.
Cedar Waxwing
The lushes of the bird world, Cedar Waxwings love fruit and berries so much, they are known to get intoxicated or even die from overripe berries.
Yellow-throated Vireo
One of the few kinds of North American birds where the male also incubates eggs and broods young. Go Vireo!
Pine Warbler
True to their name, they love the pines!
