I had a doctor’s appointment this morning, so I stuck close to home, starting at Truxtun Park and dropping in quickly at Sandy Point State Park to get the lay of the land. It was, once again, too hot to spend any time there, and it didn’t look very promising;more like a Starling Factory with a few gulls lazing about, and a single Mockingbird dominating the parking lot.
Another low light shot (ISO 3200). but a very nice looking Red Bellied Woodpecker.
I believe this is a juvenile Northern Rough Winged Swallow, but I’m checking on it.
This Beaver swam under the bridge I was standing on a couple of times, living up to the old adage.
This is the first Eastern Kingbird I’ve seen at Truxtun Park.
This Downy Woodpecker was elusive and quiet.
Cardinals are common here, but the light was perfect and she posed very nicely.
There were two of these Titmice, travelling together for a while.
These two Titmice investigated the base of this tree together.
I believe this is a juvenile Chipping Sparrow.
This Mockingbird was clearly in charge of the parking lot, calling loudly and flying back and forth to this perch.
This Black Backed Seagull was soaking up the Sun near the water’s edge.
I think this is a Ring Billed Gull.
