Just a couple enjoying a warm day on the Adirondack chairs

Mourning doves (Zenaida macroura)

March 15, 2024

Southeastern Pennsylvania

The male is the fluffed-up one in these photos. He is slightly larger and slightly more colorful. More like a couple of notches up on the color saturation dial.

Orange-crowned Warbler (Leiothlypis celata)

March 1, 2024

John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, Tinicum, Pennsylvania

This is usually a rare spring or fall migrant in my part of the country, and this particular bird should be wintering somewhere warm, like Mexico or Florida. Instead, it decided to spend the entire winter in this wildlife refuge next to Philadelphia International Airport. This was the second time I saw it, and there are many other records over the past few months. The orange crown is hidden, and is only visible when the bird is agitated.
