Sunrise at Sandy Point

My cold is still lingering, and the birds seem to be avoiding me. I’ve actually gotten out several times, but most of the images were disappointing, and the heat and humidity made for short days.

Today I got a nice sunrise, then arrived at Terrapin just in time for a cloudburst that may have damaged my camera. I’m waiting to see if it dries out or has to be repaired.

American Redstart at Governor Bridge Natural Area

It’s been a tough week. My cold is still lingering, the heat and humidity are intense, and the birds seem to be avoiding me.  If it was always like this I would have changed to landscapes a long time ago.

I did manage to find a few birds today, but other areas seem to be more productive than the places I’m choosing. It will be a better day tomorrow.

This American Redstart was by herself, as far as I could tell, but I’m more used to seeing flocks during migration.
