Carolina Wren at Terrapin Nature Area

More perfect birding weather this morning. It was in the low 50s and dry, so I took a light jacket, but it wasn’t necessary. It was a very slow day compared to recent ones. I spent quite some time looking for migrants, but saw only a few. Better luck next time.

Carolina Wren

This Carolina Wren perched in the open to sing his songs, and waited patiently while I snapped his picture.

Cedar Waxwing

A small flock of Cedar Waxwings continues in residence.

Field Sparrow

This appears to be a migrating Field Sparrow. I haven’t seen one in years.

Unknown Warbler

Unknown Warbler

I’m calling this “Unknown Warbler ” for the moment. It turns out to be a Ruby Crowned Kinglet.

Eastern Phoebe

I’m seeing a lot of Eastern Phoebes lately.

Eastern Phoebe

This Eastern Phoebe was amusing. He was perched on a fence post, and as I approached he flew to the next post. He did this several times before he flew into a nearby bush.

Least Flycatcher

This may be a Least Flycatcher.

Grackle

These Grackles are just chillin’.

Unknown

I haven’t found a name for this guy yet. It’s a Red Admiral.

Magnolia Warbler

I saw this Magnolia Warbler moving in a large bank of bushed, and followed him from one end to the other.

The female Red Winged Blackbird is as attractive as her mate.

Great Blue Heron

The Great Blue Heron is a much more patient fisherman than I ever was.
