I haven’t been to Patuxent in a while, so it seemed to be worth a try. It was better than other recent trips, but it got hot and humid early.
I saw some birds I haven’t seen recently, but the bugs were strangely hard to find.
Too pretty to pass up.
This half-ass flight shot is still my best Green Heron in flight.
Tree Swallows are actively nesting.
Great Blue Herons are plentiful at Patuxent.
A pair of Eastern Phoebes was playing near the lake.
A small flock of Killdeer was feeding along the lakeshore.
This Orchard Oriole is nesting near the lake.
Two Deer were feeding along the lake’s edge.
Today’s bugs.
I believe this is a Gray Tree Frog.
