1. Oh, I’ve seen quite a few of those.

2. Well … it appears to be a bird.

3. Oh wait–there IS a bird there! I thought you’d captured a Common Vanishing Bird!

   Um–wren of some sort?

4. (laughing!)

   Yes, there is a bird there (somewhere!)

   Not a wren, no.

5. Oh – there it is! Thought you were kidding there for a while. No guess at all. But I’m glad it’s a life bird for you.

6. I can see the bird! Haven’t a clue what it might be.

7. Brown-headed Nuthatch?

8. Apalachicola National Forest? Must be a Red-cockaded Woodpecker.

9. Darn that chickadee you were trying to get in flight!!! Happens to me several times a week. I love it.

10. I’m with Patrick. The tree appears to be a longleaf pine*, the needles of which are ~ 13″long. That would give a bird size about 4″. The bird looks stocky with a short tail.

    That’s my guess, brown-headed nuthatch.

    (*that plant geek stuff is paying off!)

11. The prize goes to Patrick (for his powers of logical elimination, I’d guess!)

    

    Extra credit if you can say Apalachicola five times fast.

12. I have a couple of very nice photos just like this…of an invisible broad-tailed hummingbird!

13. Caroline: lol!
