The Perfect Perch
Brown Thrasher
Gray Catbird
Willow Flycatcher
And that's just over the course of a half an hour! A female Baltimore Oriole briefly perched on the stump as well, but flew off before I could snap a photo. Wouldn't this be a great spot to place one of those motion detecting digital cameras to record all the birds that perch here throughout the day? By the way, I may not have been clear that in most cases you can click on my blog images to see a larger version, especially with my bird/wildflower photo essays.

We have a wonderful old snag out back that we have had similar luck with, but the trees in front of it are about to hide it - I'll have to look elsewhere by next year. Very lovelyphotos.
You need a mockingbird on that stump, to hit the "mimics trifecta."
Your photos are always so terrific.

Kathi,
Thanks!
If only they were common in Wisconsin, maybe I could have pulled it off!

Very nice perspective to see! I need a perch like that in my yard - I would love to see what I could attract!
Wow, Mike--that stump's a sure thing! We have a dying pine with a great perch on top, but all I ever seem to see there are robins and red-winged blackbirds. I can only take so many pics of them, you know.
