Indigo Bunting at Governor Bridge Natural Area.

It was the kind of day when staying home might have been the better option. I had hopes that the gray, cloudy skies might clear up, but it was not to be.
I quit early, but found a few decent birds and an interesting moth, in lousy light.

Indigo Bunting

Indigo Buntings are easy to find.


Scarlet Tanager

I was surprised to find this Scarlet Tanager hanging out with a flock of Cedar Waxwings.


Moth

Moth

With better light, this Giant Moth might have made a good picture. My experts tell me it’s a Hummingbird Clearwing (hemaris thysbe).


Baltimore Oriole

This appears to be a first year Baltimore Oriole.
