Carolina Wren, Louisville, Kentucky, 2020-11-27
These birds have a ton of character. This one looks cold, with its feathers all puffed out, and one foot tucked up in the feathers.
Golden-crowned Kinglet, Louisville Kentucky 2020-11-27
I was directly below this one, and in the first photo its looking directly at me with a "WTF?" expression. You can clearly see the yellow spot on the top of its head that's not always visible.
This species looks similar to the European Goldcrest, and is related.
I made it out #birding today. Kinda gray and drizzly out. Highlights included an Eastern Phoebe and an American Kestrel. There were a ton of Red-winged Blackbirds and Blue Jays near this one pond. They were all singing/calling, and we felt like we were interrupting an important bird meeting.
Also, here's some cool mushrooms I spotted. #sporespondance
