Early Fall is the time to be a birder in MD! It was a bit cloudy, but temps were in the high 60s and never got too high. It took a while, but I found a couple of migrant flocks in the trees around the pond near the parking lot.
Several warblers cooperated, and the insect haul was righteous.
Another Tennessee Warbler. Definite migrant.
This Northern Waterthrush is a first for me.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a Northern Flicker.
This Black and White Warbler posed with a White Eyed Vireo.
Downy Woodpeckers are becoming more visible.
I often see Red Bellied Woodpeckers on this dead tree.
This Northern Parula is probably a migrant.
I’m not sure which Empidonax Flycatcher this is.
Catbirds are everywhere.
This Chestnut Sided Warbler was partially obscured.
This Magnolia Warbler was the first bird I saw this morning.
Leafhopper (Speckled Sharpshooter)

The bugs were very good to me today.
