You made it all, with Wisdom at Your side, made earth overflow with your wonderful creations." Psalms 104 The Message  Hooded Warbler bird, Setophaga citrina, perched in the forest at Tallulah Gorge State Park, Georgia USA. Birding photography. Taking advantage of a day off work for Memorial Day, a few friends from church accompanied my wife and I for a day hike at Tallulah Gorge State Park, Georgia. Being later in the morning, the bird activity wasn't too high, but I could hear several warblers in the woods as we descended the hundreds of stairs into the gorge. I managed only one good shot of a Hooded Warbler. Catching eye-level images of Turkey Vultures soaring within gorge from the rim is always an interesting perspective. I also got a Lifer: a Broad-winged Hawk!  Turkey Vulture, Cathartes aura, soaring with wings spread. Birding photography and bird listing at Tallulah Gorge State Park, Georgia USA.
