The weather couldn’t have been better;dry and not too hot. I had to wear my boots because of all the puddles.
Plenty of birds were active, but it was hard to get good poses, which is not unusual. Still, the few I got were worth the effort. Insects aren’t plentiful yet.
A quick afternoon trip to Truxtun was only mildly productive.
Red Eyed Vireos have returned in the last couple of days.
This Swamp Sparrow was well hidden in the brush.
Two Prothonotary Warbles were foraging rapidly and returning to their nest with the insects they found.
This solitary Lesser Yellowlegs was foraging in the mud at the big lake.
Gray Catbirds are plentiful all through the area.
This Savannah Sparrow was a surprise.
This Northern Parula is nesting near the big field.
I found this White-Eyed-Vireo at Truxtun Park.
This is my best Baltimore Oriole to date.
Many turtles were sunning themselves in the big lake.
