I went to a conference in Asheville, NC and took lots of pictures of course.
From the third floor of the hotel with my phone
 |
| Rain over the Blue Ridge Mountains |
 |
| Clear skies and blue haze |
 |
| Partly cloudy with awesome blue skies. |
I stepped out of the hotel the first morning and was greeted with song! So I went back in and grabbed my camera.
 |
| Gray Catbird |
 |
| This Northern Mockingbird was at the tip top of a 60-ft tree in bloom, singing his heart out. |
 |
| Black-capped Chickadee |
 |
| A pair of Tufted Titmice were busy collecting materials for nesting |
 |
| The mockingbird moved down to a much easier height to shoot |
On the University of North Carolina-Asheville campus, everything was in bloom and buzzing.
 |
| Carolina Wren |
 |
| House Finch |
 |
| Song Sparrow |
The next few days were windy and the birds were scarce. On a flight of my own, I got a glimpse of the Blue Ridge Mountains at sunrise
