American Redstart at Terrapin Nature Park

There was a good report on MD Birding, so I headed to Terrapin this morning.

It was quite windy, but the warblers have definitely arrived. Although there were plenty of them, they remained well hidden in the foliage, for the most part, but I did manage a few decent shots.

A few marsh birds helped make it a good day.

Cornell: “The Lesser Yellowlegs is a slender, long-legged shorebird that readily shows off the brightly colored legs that give it its name. It is an active feeder, often running through the shallow water to chase its prey.”
