Flower Hill Farm Retreat has a new website and and a new blog. Warblers and other songbirds continue to return to our gardens, fields and forest and some of the females are still busy building their nests just as we are nearly finished building this site. It is live now but still missing a few important details that will be installed very soon.
This female warbler or vireo has me stumped — is she a Yellow-throated Vireo or a female Magnolia Warbler? The broken eye-ring and the larger beak make me guess the vireo but I am not sure.
Whoever she is she was letting me know that she did not have time to be bothered with me.
The faint streaks of black within the yellow along the warbler or vireo side confuses me. Perhaps the head will turn a bit more yellow like the vireo.
I almost see hints of yellow above the eye. Milkweed fluff will make a soft cushion for the little nestlings no matter.
A new blog but still committed to documenting our wildlife habitat.
On the website there are many pages devoted to the wildlife here at Flower Hill Farm. I hope you will check them out under Photography which is up along the top of the website. If I have made any mistakes in identification please let me know.
Congratulations, Carol! I felt as if I were on a treasure hunt, and found the treasure. It is an adventure moving from one subject to another. Everything is beautifully framed, in photographs and words —truly worlds within worlds. You are providing a wealth of information and a resource for learning and observing native plants and animals. As for the “mystery bird”—what a beauty. The last photograph, as usual, is inimitable. You captured a pose that is at once charming, funny and uniquely yours.
Dear Dear Eva, Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support of my efforts here at Flower Hill Farm. You are a treasure to me!

i am not good at identifying birds….
i will have to peak around your site
and i have updated your address on my sidebar of Sh.
wishing you well
a bright smile to you, i am sure this has been head spinning work.
Thank you Tammie! Head spinning is a perfect description of the process. I look forward to visiting your majestic landscapes again soon. Thank you for the beautiful smile. I can well imagine its kindness.
Your new site looks fresh and lovely. Lots of peaceful white space for the eye to rest.
(Could you think about your font? Grey and delicate looks delightful, but not so easy to read text in. A little darker, larger?)
PS I have a WP account to comment, so NOT a problem. As I appreciate WP bloggers who have a Blogger account to comment.
Since I moderate all comments, I also allow Anonymous etc.
Thank you Diana. It is great to see you here and I will look over my options concerning the font. You can always make any post or website bigger by hitting the plus sign on your computer along with another key that I forget at this moment.
