One of the largest flocks I've ever seen! I had to do the "birders estimate" on them, because there were to many to sit and count!
Two of them walking around on the floor of the forest.
Yes, I know this is a Sharpie. It was flying right over me, and at first I thought It was a Blue jay, but then figured out it was hawk. Sharpies were the ones I thought of.
In a grove of trees behind a ballpark in Southaven, Mississippi. Outstanding birds!
I heard them first, and then I followed them through the woods. Amazing birds!
9 of them flying around my house. They'd go WAY up, and then circle around and come back down. Gorgeous birds!!
Flying around the pond. It ticks me off that I can't get good pictures of these "EXTREMELY RARE" birds! The Warblers move to quickly!
Two of them sliding down a tree branch by the pond.

At first I thought it was a Dark-eyed Junco, but then I looked more closely.
flying through the woods by my house. I was incredibly excited to see them!!
They came and landed on my feeders, then they flew off into a tree. I'd post the pictures of them, if it didn't take so long.
The female landed on my feeder first, then when she flew away, the male did a "touch and go" following her.
I see everything at that little pond.
He was wading in the pond, then he got up and took off right in front of me.
Possibly breeding pairs. If not, then I just have a ton of individuals visiting my feeders.
Quite common in the trees near water, aswell

Came and landed on my feeder off and on the entire day! Beautiful bird!
In a tree above a pond
Quite possibly a breeding pair. I happened to glance over, and saw the female on top of my bird feeder, then I saw the male in my Trumpet Vine.
A breeding pair
I didn't see a female this time. The two males were running around under the bushes.
I found him by following his call.
Flying everywhere. A very nice looking bird. I'd love to upload more pictures of these birds, but it takes FOREVER to load into Geobirds.
They're everywhere!
Flying through the trees. They then perched, and played in the leaves.
They looked like they were playing tag! It's the funniest thing, watching those Gnatcatchers!
Alright, I know that this is a Sharpie! At first I mistook it for a Blue Jay, but as I got closer, I realized that it was a Sharpie.
Two males and a female. The two males were wrestling, while the female was hopping along the underbrush.
Getting a drink of water.
A mating pair, up in their nesting tree.
Came and landed on a log in the middle of the pond.

Took me a while to track him down, he was actually foraging on the ground! Then he flew up into a tree.
