It was cold and spitting rain this morning, so did some chores I’ve been avoiding, then went to Sandy Point State Park in the late morning. There have been reports of Pelicans and other birds, but none were in evidence along the beach, so I went into the woods to see what I could see. I scared off a large Hawk, and saw a lot of Sparrows and Cedar Waxwings, but not much of consequence.
This Red Bellied Woodpecker was very active, and posed briefly.
When the leaves have fallen, some birds, like this Downy Woodpecker, become easier to spot.
The park was virtually deserted, and several deer were foraging, which is unusual in the daytime.
This Bluebird seemed quite comfortable even in the wind and cold.
I’m seeing large flocks of foraging Cedar Waxwings everywhere I go.
This is the first Eastern Towhee I’ve seen outside of Terrapin Nature Center.
