Grackle at Truxtun Park.

Two lousy days in a row had me ready to go out regardless of the weather, so I went to Truxtun Park because it’s nearby. I’ve seen some good birds there in the past, but today wasn’t my day. Good birds are being seen all over Maryland, and I had high hopes.

I went out this afternoon, looking for bugs and had a little better luck.
