Momma Wolf Spider at Governor Bridge Natural Area

I was thinking of going to Woooton this morning, but made a last minute change and went to Governor Bridge.
It was cool this morning, with good light, and a few birds cooperated.
I started bug hunting early, and found some nice stuff right away, including a spectacular spider and a nice Black Racer.

Eastern Phoebe

It seems to me I’m seeing fewer Eastern Phoebes than last year.

Eastern Towhee

It took a while to locate this Eastern Towhee even though he was singing loudly.

Red Eyed Vireo

I saw several Red Eyed Vireos foraging in pairs.

Blue Grosbeak

Blue Grosbeaks breed at Governor Bridge.

Common Yellowthroat

This Common Yellowthroat was also serenading.

Black Racer

Black Racer

This Black Racer is probably the same one I’ve seen twice before.

Wolf Spider

Wolf Spider

This is the largest Wolf Spider I’ve seen in MD.
Wikipedia:”Wolf spiders resemble Nursery web spiders (family Pisauridae), but wolf spiders carry their egg sacs by attaching them to their spinnerets (Pisauridae carry their egg sacs with their chelicerae and pedipalps). Two of the Wolf spider’s eight eyes are large and prominent, which distinguishes them from the Nursery web spiders whose eyes are all of approximately equal size. This can also help distinguish them from grass spiders.”
