A slightly cloudy, unseasonably warm morning convinced me to try Wooton again, and I arrived shortly after sunrise. Yellow Rumps are still present, but wading birds are missing. I spent quite a bit of time tracking sparrows, then went to Sands Road in hopes of better subjects. My luck wasn’t much better, and the bug hunt was nearly fruitless.

Swamp Sparrows aren’t easy to photograph. They are often quite shy.

Bluebirds are plentiful at both Sands Road and Wooton.

Downy Woodpeckers are usually not camera shy.

This Flycatcher may head South soon.

I heard this distant Red Shouldered Hawk screaming long before I saw him.

Savannah Sparrows are easily found at Sands Road.
