It is reassuring to hear that others have had trouble getting that perfect cardinal photograph, when all the magazines make it look easy! LauraK-I couldn't believe my luck with the hooded warbler. As a fellow blogger, you know that half the fun of a good sighting is knowing that you can share it with others who will share your excitement! Larry-You betchya, the Ozarks were amazing! I remember the RCA Victor dog! I'll do you one better...how about the Little Rascals dog - kinda similar. :-) You may be right about the Wood-Pewee, but probably the "Eastern" instead of the "Western" variety.

Your Hooded Warbler capture with the "crest" standing up is exceptional. He is really paying attention to something. The Orchard Oriole would be a lifer for me and a handsome fella he is too. The expression on the Cardinal is priceless. Kinda like the RCA Victor dog (if anyone remembers that). I am also amused when I get that look. It always rings a smile to my face. I have a guess at your flycatcher. I think it is a Western Wood-Pewee only because it looks like it's wearing a vest on the breast and the lower mandible of the bill looks pale. The Eastern Phoebe has a lighter breast and the bill is all black. Those flycatchers do have subtle differences that are tough to ID. Notice I said I have a "guess" ;-) The mushroom speaks for itself...a beautiful shade of yellow-gold. It looks like the Ozark Mountains were good to you Amber!

What excellent photos of the hooded warbler! Very nice that this lifer sat so pretty for you. And to capture such an excellent pose! Way to go! Laura Amber, wow!

And I love your cardinal expression. I have found cardinals timid too and it has taken many tries before I've finally been able to catch some good images. Your Hooded warbler images are beautiful.

I have never seen a Hooded Warbler and used to live in the heartland but wasn't as much of a bird enthusiast as now. Awesome pictures you took too! Thanks for sharing. Beautiful!
