Cedar Waxwing at Governor Bridge Natural Area

Another gorgeous day, and another day of dithering about where to go. I decided on Governor Bridge because I wanted another chance at the hummingbirds.
I arrived about dawn, as usual, and did a complete loop of the lower area without finding much. Things picked up the second time around.
The hummingbirds weren’t as active as yesterday, but I found a few.
A shortened bug hunting trip was only mildly productive.

It’s difficult to get Ruby Throated Hummingbird in flight, but fun to try.
