I still have the problem of where to go each day, so I chose Artemesia this morning. The traffic is tolerable on weekends, and it doesn’t get busy until 9:00 or so.

More Wood Ducks are out, but no Egrets and only one Heron.  Hummingbirds are are scarce, and passerines in general are hard to find.

This Eastern Kingbird seemed to be watching me.

I saw this Brown Thrasher shortly after I arrived.

Most Barn Swallow chicks have fledged.

This Wood Duck hen was keeping close watch over her ducklings.

Many Mourning Dives feed in the grass at Artemesia.

A few Mallards were foraging in the lake.
