Cape May Warbler

My family and I were driving through Hyde Park and dad (who was driving) stopped the car 'cause of a red light. Conveniently, this cute warbler decided to pose for us right next to the road when we were stopped for the red light. Thanks, warbler!

Cape May Warblers eat small bugs, like most warblers, but will also drink nectar from flowers when wintering in the Neotropics and central america

So cute

Northern Flicker

There are two types of northern flicker. The yellow shafted (golden flight feathers) and red shafted (crimson flight feathers). We have the yellow shafted flickers in Illinois, as they are the ones in eastern North America
