It’s still slim pickings around here, so I went back to Blackwater this morning. It was the right choice. There’s no noticeable migration, and the wading birds were scarce, but other birds made up for it, along with a few butterflies.
This Bald Eagle greeted me early this morning.
A few Purple Martins are still hanging around the visitor center.
This Catbird landed at my feet as I was watching the Hummingbirds.
The Hummingbirds were very active, probably gaining weight for migration.
I found this Great Egret along Wildlife Drive.
This is a juvenile Red Headed Woodpecker.
The Red Headed Woodpeckers are still very active.
This young Forster’s Tern was along Key Wallace Drive.
Yet another Bobolink.
The Grasshopper Sparrow seems to stay in one place.
Today’s bugs.
