Scarlet Tanager at Governor Bridge Natural Area

The perfect weather continued today. I had thought thought stay closer to home today, but I felt inspired by the weather, so I set out for Bowie.
I was very pleasantly surprised to find the Tanager right away, and few others posed as well.
Bug hunting was productive also.

Red Eyed Vireo

Red Eyed Vireos are heard throughout the parks.

Common Yellowthroat

This Common Yellowthroat looks a bit bedraggled.

Blue Grosbeak

Blue Grosbeaks should be easier to find from now on.

Wood Duck

I don’t often find Wood Ducks in the water at Governor Bridge.

Cedar Waxwing

I found small flock of Cedar Waxwings.
