Warblers at Terrapin Nature Park

I emailed a guy about his site, and he suggested that using the date for a title isn’t as good as using a topic. so I’m changing that approach.
Another near-perfect weather day. It was in the 60s when I awoke, and the low 70s by the time I got to Terrapin Nature Park. It started out well, slowed down and picked up at the end of my 3-4 hour stay.

Two Snowy Egrets were fishing in the marsh pond. This is as close as I’ve ever gotten to them.

House Wren

House Wren

This House Wren was a nice surprise as I haven’t seen many.

Northern Flicker

I didn’t realize this was a Northern Flicker until I uploaded it from the camera. He’s only showing his back, but it’s colorful enough to make a decent picture.

Cardinal

Cardinals are so common I often pass them by. but I liked the colors on this female.

Rose Breasted Grosbeak

Rose Breasted Grosbeak

I saw a Rose Breasted Grosbeak in the Spring, but I didn’t recognize this bird, which is probably a first winter male.

Red Eyed Vireo

Red Eyed Vireo

The Red Eyed Vireo is very attractive, and frequently elusive. Lately, they have been posing nicely for me.

Osprey

This Osprey will be heading South very soon.

Mockingbird

I see Mockingbirds everywhere I go, but they are a treat to photograph.

Starling

I count 516 Starlings. What about you?

Monarch

The Monarchs are migrating.

This is a Blue Headed Vireo and I’ve never seen one before.

This slightly out of focus bird is a Prairie Warbler.
