Another cloudy day, which disallowed perfect photos, but Graeme and I found a few decent birds, as well as a Butterfly with a great name.
We walked the entire loop, but the vast majority of decent photos were taken on the lower trail.
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.
