Tennessee Birding V

This is my final Tennessee birding series post - another morning walk along the driveway. I saw many of the same birds as seen previously - perhaps the same birds as other days in some cases, but also some new ones. It was sad to have the vacation come to an end, but the nice thing is that there are birds to see at home, too!

#1
You can clearly see the long beak on this hairy woodpecker that is nearly as long as its head.

#2
This bird almost looks cartoonish with how large its eyes are.

And another one (there were many them again):

Ruby-throated Hummingbird (female)

#4
Hard to say on this one.

Tennessee Warbler?

#5
Still trying to learn the differences between the Carolina and Black-capped Chickadee, but one tip from All About Birds that Carolina Chickadees have less white-edging in the wings is starting to give me more confidence that this is in fact a Carolina Chickadee (and also the one from post II).

And the last bird I saw was another blue bird, but not an indigo bunting this time!

Blue Jay

That's it. I look forward to going back again someday!

Tennessee Birding II

This is part two of my Tennessee birding series. Here's some shots from another morning walk along the driveway to our cabin. This was a longer walk than the first.

These two robins were hanging out on the tree top.

#2
I have not a clue what this little guy is.

Mystery bird

But, this might be another shot of it. It looks like it could be another Nashville Warbler?

This next one perched for quite a while and didn't seem to mind me taking photos of it. I'm pretty confident that it's a Eastern Kingbird.

Here's another shot of it that shows the white-tips on the tail feathers better:

This is either a Carolina Chickadee or a Black-capped Chickadee. The photo isn't good enough to distinguish very well, so it could be either, but due to being further south, I'm going to go with Carolina Chickadee.

This guy stuck around for a while, but just wouldn't turn around for me! I managed to get a photo as he turned his head, though, revealing his red eyes.

Eastern Towhee

Downy Woodpecker

#8
This is a beautiful blue bird!

Indigo Bunting

The classic hummingbird silhouette.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird

And now with some color:
