I got up early on a very threatening day and headed to Sandy Point State Park. The morning was alternately sunny and very dark, and birding was very slow.
Some day I’ll figure out how this works.
This Ring Billed Gull was among many circling the marina, along with Ospreys and Cormorants.
This Eastern Wood Peewee was one of the few small Passerines in sight.
There are hundreds of Starlings at Sandy Point, and I usually pass them by, but it was a slow day.
This Great Blue Heron was fishing on the jetty, and I like the look, so I left him in silhouette.
This White Breasted Nuthatch was travelling with a friend, which is unusual in my experience.
This is a juvenile Mallard.
This Eastern Kingbird was hanging out in the parking lot.
Sometimes a bird seems totally indifferent to the presence of the photographer, and this Robin is a good example.
Some butterflies have extraordinary colors.
This Cardinal was in my back yard.
