The perfect weather continues, so I set out to Terrapin Nature Area to see if I could do as well as yesterday. A Red Breasted Nuthatch was the highlight, but I got some other nice birds as well.
For two days in a row I’ve run into older men with binoculars who clearly think birding with a camera is somehow different than birding with binoculars.
“Oh, bird photography.” “You can’t do both.”
A silly argument, in my book, but the purists are fading and won’t be bothering people much longer.
This Brown Thrasher was one of several noisily feeding in the area.
I couldn’t coax this adult male Magnolia Warbler any closer.
This a non-breeding adult male Magnolia Warbler.
The white eye ring makes me think this is a Bay Breasted Warbler.
When you chase small birds in the woods, you’re going to find an occasional Chickadee.
I had heard that the Red Breasted Nuthatch was in the area, and I feel lucky to have found one.
This could be the same Rose Breasted Grosbeak I saw yesterday.
This Catbird will be heading South soon.
I often pass up common birds like this Blue Jay, but I love the colors.
