We’re not going to get any kind of waterfowl bonanza this year, but the smaller birds are starting to be more active, so all will be well.  Is Global Warming affecting migration? I don’t know, but I was talking with a friend a few days ago, and we agreed that we seem to be seeing fewer birds.

Again, I’ve been getting out almost daily (Rain keeps me home) but I’m not getting any great photos. This might be the year of more landscapes.

Artemesia Dawn.

Brown Headed Nuthatches were very active at CBEC .

I’ve seen fewer Yellow Rumped Warblers this year.

I found several Eastern Bluebirds at CBEC this morning.

This Ruby Crowned Kinglet was surprise.

This Downy Woodpecker ignored me as he searched for morsels.

This Hooded Merganser flew off as soon as he saw me.

Not enough shutter speed, or an arty effect?

I found these Ring Necked Ducks at Lake Artemesia.
