I’m spending a lot of time at Governor’s Bridge because it’s nearby and very productive. I have to watch the cost of gas lately, so it’s nice to have several excellent sites nearby.
Although hot and humid was promised, I set out early in hopes of good light and was rewarded. Many birds were active early on, with Hummingbirds being prominent. I spent too much time chasing them, as usual.
The Ruby Throated Hummingbird is the only East Coast species. I’d probably go nuts on the West Coast.
Although I’ve seen this many times, now, it still seems weird to see a Red Bellied Woodpecker eating fruit.
Many Blue Gray Gnatcatchers were feeding rapidly.
Indigo Buntings were very cooperative today..
I saw a lot of Great Crested Flycatchers today.
This Catbird has been banded.
Downy Woodpeckers have been scarce recently.
I only saw one Blue Grosbeak today.
