a new visitor to the rock...

I was so excited to see this bird in the garden yesterday and had to get out the trusty bird book to identify him, a Cape May Warbler.
I kept the camera by the window and glanced outside throughout the day and was able to capture a few shots through the glass.






Isn't he a handsome fellow? I am happy to host him and hope he stays around long enough that I am able to get photos from outside.

Yes, he is definitely a handsome fellow, and your pictures are all terrific. Interesting brown around his eyes.

Hopefully he'll be a return visitor.
