Comment :: Saw several of this type of bird in my yard towards mid-summer.. Two were just as cute as could be as they fluttered very much like butterflies thru the approximate 40' tall treetops..
This was a one-shot deal catching this image as the bird disappeared as fast as he had sat down.. Looks like a miniature Mockingbird almost.. For perspective, he's perched on one of those small solar-batteried garden lights that are about a foot and a piece off the ground.. Like I said, he's small..
He looks stressed here (unless that's just their behavior), but I don't remember the weather being particularly hot or otherwise unusual..
Did find what looked like a reasonable match over at Cornell's All About Birds but then lost the page.. HATE when that happens.. Off to see if I can track it back down.. :)
