It was a little cloudy and cool this morning, despite the weatherman’s promise of “Sunny”.  I set out for the Eastern Shore anyway, and it was a worthwhile trip.

I found some Snowy Egrets and got to watch 4 Ospreys fishing from rather close, which is always a treat.  These particular Osprey weren’t very successful, but they make a Hell of a splash when they hit the water.

I spent quite a bit of time looking for migrants, but it was very windy and I didn’t have much luck.

There were fewer Mallards than usual.

Sometimes it seems that you can hear Carolina Wrens everywhere.

Dozens of Yellow Rumped Warblers were foraging along the paths.

Four Ospreys were fishing in the marsh pond.

Robins are very fast when they find a worm.

I initially thought this was a flock of Snowy Egrets, but it’s about half Cattle Egrets.

I haven’t seen many Cattle Egrets, so it was a real surprise to find this one hanging out with a flock of Snowy Egrets.
