It was raining again this morning, so I didn’t get to Terrapin until 6:30 or so.
The pond was active, but the light was so poor I didn’t get many decent images.
By the time got to CBEC, the clouds had diminished and I had better luck. There were fewer birds than I expected, but there will be more when the rainy season ends.
This solitary Least Sandpiper didn’t seem to be perturbed by a large group of noisy schoolchildren visiting CBEC.
Two Great Egrets were fishing near the herons.
Yellow Rumped Warblers are still plentiful.
Another attempt at a Tree Swallow.
I was lucky to get this close to a Brown Headed Nuthatch.
I haven’t seen an Eastern Kingbird on the beach before.
Catbirds seemed to be in every bush.
These Canada Goose goslings are probably only a few days old.
These Mallards seemed to be courting.
This Cattle Egret has been hanging out near the parking lot, by himself.
Two Great Blue Herons were fishing in the pond.
A first for me. I’ve heard that Bald Eagles eat turtles, but I’ve never witnessed the capture.
