The weatherman was wrong about the rain ending in the early morning, so I did some chores before heading out to Truxtun Park in the early afternoon. It was still very cloudy, and the lighting wasn’t optimal. so I took what shots I could and went home to try another day.
I saw this Great Blue Heron fishing in the stream, but I had my back to him while I discussed birding with a young, charming blonde from England (Hi Janet) who’s just moved here and appears to be a talented birder. She pointed out his new location and I was able to get this image.
I wonder how much longer this Catbird will stay?
Although I saw many small birds, including an intriguing warbler, only this Song Sparrow was willing to pose.
This Red Bellied Woodpecker announced his presence loudly.
This warbler is probably a Northern Parula.
