Cedar Waxwings are a big fan of Serviceberries. This is a younger bird as he/she doesn't have the waxy red tips on the wings.

A Magnolia Warbler in a Winterberry bush. This migrating warbler wasn't interested in the berries, but the leaves caught this bird's attention. This warbler took a quick bath by getting his/her feathers wet from the wet leaves (too quick for me to get any photos but it was fun to watch.)

Later Sonny Rollins studio recordings don't get much critical love, but believe me folks: The 4 records from 1989-95--Falling in Love with Jazz/Here's to the People/Old Flames/Plus 3--are cohesive statements that include damn fine improvising from Sonny and good band playing. Don't sleep on them.

A raccoon warily watching a turkey. Whenever this raccoon would move away from a tree, two Wild Turkeys would chase after him/her. The turkeys seemed none to pleased to have the raccoon around. Eventually the raccoon escaped deeper into the woods, and turkeys headed off on their own way.
