It’s been nearly three weeks since I posted anything, a record, I think. I’ve been getting out most days, quitting early in the heat, but not finding much inspirational. I’m also trying to save money on expenses, and the car eats a lot of gas.
Today was much better, and I think we’ll have good luck for a while, as migration seems to be well under way.
I’ve never seen a YC Night Heron in MD before, and there were several other Herons as well as a Baltimore Oriole.

Most years I see many Eastern Kingbirds at this time of year.

There are still many Ospreys in the area.

Goldfinches will probably be around all year.

I’ve heard Belted Kingfishers at CBEC many times, but they’re tough to photograph.
