More decent Spring weather had me eager to get into the woods, but chores came first, and I didn’t get to Jug Bay until 10:00. There was plenty of Sun, but the wind made it noticeably colder.
I was joined by Paul and Penny from the AABC, and Penny’s eagle eyes were a big help.
A small flock of Blue Winged Teals was dabbling in one of the marsh ponds.
Penny and I spooked this Cooper’s Hawk, who then flew across the creek, where we were lucky to spot him.
Wood Ducks are appearing regularly.
Juvenile Bald Eagles are almost a common sight at Jug Bay.
This appears to be a Ring Billed Gull.
The Hermit Thrush is often a willing subject.
This Greater Yellowlegs was feeding alongside the Teals.
