Purple Martin at Possum Point

The promised rainy/cloudy weather didn’t appear, and we had a gorgeous morning.

I started at Possum Point in search of the perfect sunrise, which I’m still seeking, then went on to Greenbury Point where the pickings were pretty good.  Birds and bugs were in a good mood for a change, and I got a few decent shots.

This Purple Martin wasn’t easy to capture. They are fast moving, erratic flying birds.
