The weather was nearly perfect again, but the migrants just didn’t show.
I spent quite some time searching likely spots, but to no avail. Fortunately, a few resident birds cooperated.
Insects were scarce as well.

Northern Cardinals are still abundant.

This female Red Bellied Woodpecker was very vocal.

This Osprey is still hanging out when most of buddies have moved South.

I usually see Snowy Egrets wading, not in a tree.

Today's bugs.

I’m back, after three terrible days of bad weather and bad luck. I’ve actually gone out every day, but gotten very little cooperation from the weather, the birds or the bugs. Today wasn’t very good either, but I did see a lot of birds, at least.
Caterpillars were the prize today.

I was lucky to catch this Blue Jay taking off.

Northern Cardinals were very active today.

I've seen several Ruby Crowned Kinglets recently, but this is the first I've been able to photograph.

Today's bugs.

The good weather returned this morning, and I decided to take a chance on Terrapin. While it wasn’t as good as I’d hoped, I did see some birds I haven’t seen in a while.
I only spent a short time looking for bugs.

A small flock of Eastern Bluebirds was foraging at the beach.

I haven't seen Snowy Egrets since the Spring.

Yellow Rumped Warblers will stay for several months.

This female Eastern Towhee was a surprise.

Carolina Chickadees were also feeding at the beach.

Most Ospreys have left for warmer climes by now.

Mockingbirds often pose more willingly than other birds.

Pine Warblers were feeding alongside the Yellow Rumps.

Today's bugs.

It was cloudy and threatening rain this morning, and I might have done as well to stay home. I took a chance anyway, and saw only a few birds, and none worth photographing.
The bugs were somewhat more cooperative, but it wasn’t a great morning.
