After a quick trip to stock up on Thanksgiving goodies, I traveled to Wooton’s Landing for another look at this very promising park. It has extensive marsh area, and borders the Patuxent River, so the habitat is quite varied. Still, it was quite slow today. I did see a couple of hawks who wouldn’t pose, and a Belted Kingfisher taking a break. I made a quick stop at Truxtun Park on the way home and got a couple of decent pictures.

This Downy Woodpecker was in a group of small trees, so I had to move around a bit to get a clear look.

I still get a thrill when a hawk flies close enough for a decent picture. and I think I’m getting better at capturing the images.
