  6. TWO! MAGIC! I love them. These photos are absolute treasures!

    I had one in my back yard this year--sitting on the ground in the middle of the day. I found a local website about them--apparently they're not that uncommon around here.

    Don't forget to check out WingHaven if you come near Charlotte. It's a small in-city garden, but lots of birds.

  7. Dawn, I heard one of these in a stand of pine in the woods behind my sister's house but could not find it! You are so lucky to have seen them! Can't wait to see you when you get back here!
