I love a lot of trees, always liked the big Norway maples. I'll transplant it in January when it is dormant. Don't really have even an inch anywhere for another tree unless it likes very wet standing water -- not the Norway. But will look for a spot. Did plant a Weeping Crabapple, molten lava, but it's at the far end of the yard. Will have to transplant that newbie crabapple in January too. Wonder what type it is? But the hawthornes .... drats .... no place for them, will have to dig them up in January and sneak them somewhere to plant. THANK YOU FOR THE IDs !!!

That is a very cute little bird, whatever it is! Birds that wont come to feeders WILL come for a bath. Boy is this true. This summer I finally put a bird bath about 60 feet behind the house, in an open area near the back gardens. I have seen many unusual birds in the bath I had no idea were coming to the yard! These are not great pics - Point & shoot camera taken from window - and I ID'd some of the birds using binoculars. There are 2 Bluebird fledglings, some sort of Warbler, and a Field Sparrow (I think) here - Fox Sparrow and some sort of Warbler here -

It's a robin. But the robins I have seem to be much more skittish than yours......they always fly out of the nest if I'm around.

Big bird on top looks like Greater Yellowlegs. Smaller one in same pic could be a Sanderling. Reddish birds are Ruddy Turnstones.
