I talked to Graeme last night about Buddy Attick, and he said there wasn’t much happening, so I went back to Artemesia this morning. It was a good choice.
There are still Wood Ducks with young, and a few more birds than previously showed themselves. The light was ideal, and I got a few decent images.
Views of the lake.
It’s rare to find a Tree Swallow in a tree.

This Mallard was escorting her young.
This Crow landed on top of the gazebo.
This is the first Northern Rough Winged Swallow I’ve seen at Artemesia this year.

A pair of Eastern Kingbirds are nesting at the lake.
Young Wood Ducks are growing rapidly.
It’s easy to hear Baltimore Orioles at Artemesia, but hard to see them.
