I spent a lot of time experimenting in Photoshop to improve this Belted Kingfisher, but I’m not completely happy with the results.

There’s nothing like a mud cloak to help cool off.

The usual Green Heron at Wooton is backlit, so I’ll settle for these.

This appears to be a butterfly known as a Carolina Satyr.

I’m calling this an Eastern Phoebe until corrected.

Yet another singing Eastern Towhee.

We spotted this female Blue Grosbeak on the lower part of the loop.

I didn’t realize this was a Northern Parula until I uploaded it.

My new flash unit arrived yesterday, and it’s clearly going to make a difference on these gray days when the bird is close enough. Eastern Kingbirds have been relatively scarce this year.

I saw several Blue Grosbeaks feeding in the trees.

I haven’t been seeing many Monarch Butterflies lately.

This Orchard Oriole flew from tree to tree, singing loudly.

I’ve been seeing a lot of Eastern Towhees recently.

I had never considered how difficult it must be for some Hummingbirds to preen.

I nearly stepped on this well hidden Tortoise.

Even partially hidden, a Scarlet Tanager is quite a sight.

This Black and White Warbler is probably migrating.

This Red Eyed Vireo is molting.

Blue Gray Gnatcatchers continue to be very active.

Several Indigo Buntings were feeding in the meadow..

Flycatchers are tricky to ID, but this is probably an Acadian Flycatcher.

This Scarlet Tanager appeared overhead as I was leaving the park.

This Dragonfly was too close to ignore.

A pair of Acadian Flycatcher were foraging in the marsh near Otter Point.

Several Turtles were basking in the bright sunlight.

All these Forster’s Terns appear to be molting.

I haven’t photographed Ospreys in a while.

This Beaver was swimming across the river to his den.

This Great Blue Heron was fishing at the end of the railroad bed trail.

With just a little more light, these could have been very nice.

This Great Crested Flycatcher could have used a bit more light as well.

Eastern Towhees have become more visible in the last few days.

Indigo Buntings are still very visible.

I haven’t seen many adult male Orchard Orioles at Governor Bridge.

This Indigo Bunting is still singing from the same perch.

Hundreds of butterflies are feeding in every part of the park.

This first year Red Bellied Woodpecker was eating cherries.

I saw many more Blue Gray Gnatcatchers than usual.

This Acadian Flycatcher was practicing his trade in a large tree.

Ruby Throated Hummingbirds are hard to get, so I’m showing all the best ones.

Red Eyed Vireos tend to be shy, so I was lucky to find this guy feeding.

Catbirds were everywhere, feeding rapidly.

This Red Bellied Woodpecker was also taking advantage of the berries.

I haven’t seen as many Great Crested Flycatchers as last year.

Not great images, but I felt lucky to get this Ruby Throated Hummingbird at all.

Many Robins were chowing down as well.

The Blue Grosbeaks were feeding on insects.

Cardinals joined in the feeding frenzy also.

The secret to feeding on nectar is a long tongue.

This Indigo Bunting spends a lot of time on top of a particular tree.

Eastern Tiger Swallowtails are still feeding in large numbers.

This Eastern Phoebe was flycatching from this snag in the big lake.

I called this White Eyed Vireo with IBird, but thr low light kept me from getting a really sharp image.

I saw more Catbirds than anything else today.

I finally got a halfway decent look at this Belted Kingfisher.

Eastern Tiger Swallowtails are still feeding in large numbers.

Bill and Jim told me the name of this Wasp, but I forgot it already.

This Turtle was sunning in the pond near the river.
