At dawn it looked like a clear, bright sky was in store, so I left the house around 6:00 to go back to Wooton, which is relatively close and has been very productive.
A Green Heron popped up right away, and the pics are reasonable even though he was backlit. A few others posed briefly, and it was a decent day with cool temps.
You can hear the song of the White Eyed Vireo everywhere at Wooton.
A Ruby Throated Hummingbird is about 4″ long, and this is what you see without magnification.

It’s not hard to find these loudly singing Catbirds.
It’s a lot of fun to watch these little gymnasts.
This Cedar Waxwing may be repairing his nest.
This Common Yellowthroat was in the Hummingbird’s tree.
I haven’t gotten this close to many Green Herons this year.
This Great Blue Heron seemed to be resting.
There are many of these Orchids around the ponds.Thanks to Mark for naming this as Trumpet Creeper/Vine.
I didn’t recognize this Yellow Billed Cuckoo at first.
