Seeing lots of Yellow-Rumped Warblers

...at the bird bath on the patio. Also lots of Carolina Chickadees
They're competing with the Tufted Titmice for bath time. :)

It's still very warm here in South Carolina so I don't have the seed
feeder out yet. Plenty of foraged food available until it gets chilly.
The birds love the bath, though.

I'll try to get some pictures but the Warblers and the adorable little
Chickadees move pretty darn quick, it's hard to capture an image.

The odd thing about the Yellow-Rumped Warblers is they land on the
street and stubbornly won't get out of the way! If they find something
that might be food they just sit there. Please, tiny bird, I don't want
to run over you. Move!

Does the Myrtle Warbler get its name from your state, noticed that while
googling. I didn't think any bird was named after a city except the
Baltimore Oriole.

I never heard of a Mrytle Warbler. Looking it up, I think those birds
are much further north. What I'm seeing are yellow-rumped.

The South Carolina state bird is the Carolina Wren:

or

Those wrens are noisy little birds that love to sing. They have a
distinctive uplifted tail look like someone painted them with white
eye-liner.

When it rains down here, which is frequently, they perch on the branch
of an azalea bush at the back corner of the house and let the rain drip
down from the upper branches. They love to take rain-baths. But in the
heat of the summer when the bugs are out, they also take sand-baths. :)
