Another day of good weather, and I had planed to got to Quiet Waters,but it gets crowded on the weekend, so I decided to give Sands Road another try. For an ideal place, it’s been bit hit and miss. I didn’t find a lot of birds, but there were a few new ones.
A butterfly showed up as well.
Sands Road is a good place for Field Sparrows.
The Song Sparrow is the sparrow I see most often.
Swamp Sparrows often stay deep in the brush.
I haven't seen a Ruby Crowned Kinglet since the Spring.
This Golden Crowned Kinglet is also a first of season bird.
Several Flycatchers were foraging alongside the sparrows.
Not a great shot, but I don't see many Northern Harriers. This is a female.
I spotted this Sulfur Butterfly as I was leaving.
