The weather looked very good this morning, so I headed to Terrapin to see if I could find some warblers, which have been in short supply here. I had no luck with warblers, but I found a few birds who posed nicely in the excellent light.
The Hermit Thrush has been a reliable find on my afternoon trip to Truxtun.
I couldn’t pass up this Cardinal in the green foliage.
I haven’t seen many Great Egrets, so this was a nice find. Note the green lores, which only occur during breeding season.
Red Winged Blackbirds are numerous in every marsh.
Snowy Egrets were also fishing in the marsh pond.
The female showed up while the male Blue Grosbeak was singing his courtship song.
Eastern Kingbirds are becoming regular sights.
I heard this Eastern Towhee long before I saw him.
This Indigo Bunting is also looking for a mate.
