Wow! 7 days without a post-a record for me. It was a miserable week of rain, clouds and fog, and the few times I got out weren’t worth the effort.
Today was much better. A great variety of good migrants, despite the fact that only a few gave adequate views for a good image. I’d much rather see good birds I can’t photograph than to see the same old, day after day.
The Cattle Egret is another bird I don’t see often. This may be the same one that was hanging around Terrapin last year.
Gray Catbirds started arriving a week or so ago.
An unusual pose for a Red Winged Blackbird.
I almost missed this Black Throated Blue Warbler.
Many Rose Breasted Grosbeaks have been seen in our area recently, but this is my first.
I spent some time watching the Ospreys, in hopes of catching one with a fish, but had no luck.
I don’t often see Common Yellowthroat Warblers in trees. They’re much more common near the ground in a marsh.
I had to get help identifying this Common Loon who flew over the beach.
Yellow Rumped Warblers are the most common Warbler at the moment.
First Eastern Kingbird of the season.
A friend ID’d this Cape May Warbler, a bird I haven’t see very many times.
