I started at Terrapin again this morning, and, once again, it was pretty slow. The water is very high in the marsh pods, which discourages the water birds.
I moved on to CBEC after an hour or so, and the bird population there has diminished, but still wasn’t bad.
This is an Osprey I overlooked from last year.
Momma Mallard leads her ducklings into the grass.
I found this Great Blue Heron at Terrapin.
Many Sandpipers forage in the mud flats at CBEC.
Tri Colored Herons are listed as “Rare” in our area.
I saw several Green Herons this morning.
I usually pass up Mourning Doves, but I liked this pose.
This Herring Gull may have found a dead fish.
The Blue Grosbeak is fairly common, but I don’t often see them at Terrapin.
Ospreys will only be here another month or so.
This Double Crested Cormorant flew overhead at Terrapin.
There were less than half the usual number of Snowy Egrets at CBEC.
It’s tough to get a Purple Martin in flight, and this guy was more cooperative than most.
