p.1 #1 · ~~19th Year of My RTHB~~

I have mentioned over the last several years how RTHB activity has decreased in my backyard. This years season started July17th. I have yet to photograph an adult male at home.

Of the 26 photographs I am posting, 4 were captured in Virginia. The 4 are of a dominate male who ruled his territory and claimed a branch in a blueberry bush backed up against the siding of a house.

Enjoy.
