Despite the dire predictions, I went early to Wooton in hopes of getting my birding fix before the rain started. It never did rain, and I had a mostly sunny day.
The Towhee was my first female and I had a Red Eyed Vireo along with a nice variety of other birds. A quick afternoon trip to Truxtun produced a few good birds as well.
This is the first female Eastern Towhee I’ve seen.
Catbirds have returned in large numbers.
This Bald Eagle was pursued relentlessly by the much smaller Crow.
I think this is the first time I’ve seen a Grackle bathing.
Prairie Warblers are still easy to find at Wooton.
I don’t see a lot of Bluebirds at Truxtun.
Look in the sky anywhere at Wooton and you’ll see a Tree Swallow.
There are several Blue Gray Gnatcatcher nests at Wooton.
This Red Tailed Hawk and his mate hang out in the same tree nearly every morning.
Many of the small birds at Wooton are singing, like this Common Yellowthroat.
I saw several Indigo Buntings today.
This is my first Red Eyed Vireo of the year.
