Green Heron at Wooton’s Landing

Another foggy, cloudy morning in the marsh. The fog lifted after an hour or so, and some birds came put, but photo opportunities were limited.

Bugs were in short supply also.

I’m including a few shots of a friend’s garden I took yesterday.

Yellow Billed Cuckoo at Greenbury Point

I made another try for Possum Point sunrises this morning, but  it was a blah show this morning. A few Ospreys were around, but not much variety.

I found a few birds and bugs around the nursery center, but it was a slow day overall.

Eastern Phoebe at Sands Road Park

It was cloudy and misty this morning, but I gave Wooton’s Landing a try anyway.  There were a few birds around, but nothing exciting, and the light was poor.

I made a stop at Sands Road on the way home, and it wasn’t any better.

Even the bugs were scarce this morning.
