Another gloomy morning, but I went to Wooton anyway. I wanted to try some landscapes, which I did, but the Sun never did show through the clouds.

Green Herons must have fledged, because there were 5 or more noisy birds in the tree, just like at Terrapin yesterday. The juvenile mergansers were in the river pond, and a real surprise.

Graeme and I went to Sands Road, also, but it was getting hot and sticky by that time, so we didn’t stay long.

Morning in the marsh.

Green Herons were squawking all morning.

Blue Gray Gnatcatchers were common a month ago, but are much rarer now.

I had to get help identifying these juvenile Hooded Mergansers, which I haven’t seem before.

Today’s bugs.
