Northern Parula at Wooton’s Landing

“Perfect weather” is getting boring, so let me say it was a typical Spring day. I went back to Wooton for the third straight day, and it didn’t disappoint. I got my best Parula to date, and an Orchard Oriole posed very well. A late trip to Truxtun was curtailed by threatening skies, but a Red Fox justified the trip.

This Fox was looking right at me as I entered Truxtun Park.

Common Yellowthroats seem to be the most common warbler at Wooton.

White Eyed Vireo

White Eyed Vireos can be heard many places in the park.

Orchard Oriole

Singing males, like this Orchard Oriole, will often ignore the photographer.

The song of the Tufted Titmouse can be heard in most MD woods.

This Red Tailed Hawk was perched in the same tree yesterday, and I scared him off. I approached more subtly today.
