This Blue Grosbeak was a little distant, but I’ll take it.

There are many White Eyed Vireos at Wooton, but they seldom show themselves.

I haven’t seen a Prairie Warbler in a while, so it took a wile to ID this guy.

I saw several Great Crested Flycatchers today.

Osprey fish regularly in the small ponds at Wooton.

Flycatchers are very active at Wooton, including the Eastern Phoebe.

There were dozens of these little frogs in the puddles.

This Great Blue Heron may have been laughing at us.

This Spider Web was an interesting sight.

This Indigo Bunting.was one of the very few interesting birds we saw.

I don’t often get this close to a Belted Kingfisher, so it’s a shame the light wasn’t better.

A lovely sight, but not so good for photos.

They’re not birds, but Cicadas are interesting.

This Flycatcher may be an Eastern Phoebe.

I’m seeing some nice females recently, but I’d really like to see a good male American Redstart .

Red Eyed Vireos are foraging everywhere I go.

The light was much better by the time I found this Blue Grosbeak.

Emily, in action.

Ruby Throated Hummingbirds seem to be active everywhere.

There wasn’t enough light for this Great Blue Heron, so I played with it a bit.

This Broad Winged Hawk was being pursued by a pair of diminutive Barn Swallows.

Ruby Throated Hummingbirds will be migrating very soon, and I’ll have to find another bird to harass.

A distant look might confuse a Hummingbird Clearwing with a hummingbird.

Although they breed here, this American Redstart (Female) may be a migrant.

Blue Gray Gnatcatchers were everywhere in the park.

That’s a very tasting looking meal this Red Eyed Vireo has captured.

I appreciated the nice pose offered by this female Blue Grosbeak.

I’ve seen a lot of Eastern Towhees. but very few females.

The “Scrap of sky with wings” known as the Indigo Bunting.will be leaving us soon.

While not as striking as her mate, the female American Redstart is quite beautiful.

The excellent light allowed me to use a shutter speed of 1/4000 for the flight shots.

Hummingbird Clearwings are still feeding right alongside the Ruby Throats.

Emily and I spent half an hour trying to coax this White Eyed Vireo to pose.

Indigo Buntings are especially captivating in good light..

This may be the same Brown Thrasher I saw yesterday.

Red Eyed Vireos tend to be very active in the morning.

This Robin posed nicely amidst the berries.

This Chickadee popped right into the viewfinder.

I’m nearly 70 years old, but I was as excited as a child to see this beautiful migrant.
Cornell:”A bird of the coniferous forests of the Northeast, the Blackburnian Warbler is breathtaking in its brilliant orange-and-black breeding plumage.”

I found another place where a pair of Ruby Throated Hummingbirds were feeding regularly.

Wikipedia:”Hemaris thysbe, or the Hummingbird Clearwing, is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It lives in Alaska and the Northwest Territories south through British Columbia to Oregon; east through the Great Plains and the Great Lakes area to Maine and Newfoundland; south to Florida and Texas.
Hemaris thysbe or Hummingbird Clearwing Moth
Adults are frequently mistaken for hummingbirds or bees because of their fast-moving wings and coloration. They have a two inch wingspan.
The caterpillars eat viburnum, hawthorn, honeysuckle, and a few types of fruit trees.”

This juvenile Baltimore Oriole was literally crashing through the brush in search of insects.

Brown Thrashers are usually skittish, but this guy stayed in place for quite a while.

These birds will be heading South soon, and I’ll miss them.

Cornell:”The all-blue male Indigo Bunting sings with cheerful gusto and looks like a scrap of sky with wings. Sometimes nicknamed “blue canaries,” these brilliantly colored yet common and widespread birds whistle their bouncy songs through the late spring and summer all over eastern North America. Look for Indigo Buntings in weedy fields and shrubby areas near trees, singing from dawn to dusk atop the tallest perch in sight or foraging for seeds and insects in low vegetation.”

Red Eyed Vireos were easy to find today.

Not a great image, but I haven’t seen a Red Shouldered Hawk in a while.

Blue Gray Gnatcatchers were also easy to find today.

I’m fond of the Red Eyed Vireo because it took me so long to get a decent image when I was beginning last year.

It’s my Blog, and I can post as many Ruby Throated Hummingbirds as I want.

Indigo Buntings often cooperate better than other birds. .

Catbirds may be the most common bird at Governor Bridge.

I’m not sure which Flycatcher this is.

Blue Gray Gnatcatchers are small and fast, but you can get a picture if you’re patient.

The call of the Red Bellied Woodpecker was one of the first I learned.

The Prothonotary Warbler is an absolutely shocking yellow when seen through the lens.

This looked like an older bird teaching a youngster to fish.

This female Cardinal struck a nice pose.

Indigo Buntings are still singing..

I found this Carolina Wren deep in the woods.

This Goldfinch showed up when I was about to quit for the day.

This Black and White Warbler was very cooperative.

The Ruby Throated Hummingbird is the only East Coast species. I’d probably go nuts on the West Coast.

Although I’ve seen this many times, now, it still seems weird to see a Red Bellied Woodpecker eating fruit.

Many Blue Gray Gnatcatchers were feeding rapidly.

Indigo Buntings were very cooperative today..

I saw a lot of Great Crested Flycatchers today.

This Catbird has been banded.

Downy Woodpeckers have been scarce recently.

I only saw one Blue Grosbeak today.
