First Visit to Terrapin Nature Area

I took a chance on Terrapin Nature Park today, and it was mildly disappointing, but I got a few good shots. It’s definitely a good spot, and I’ll go back when the weather changes.

Double Crested Cormorant

I walked down to the beach, through the marsh, just in time to catch this flight of Double Crested Cormorants. There were very few birds in the air.

Crow

This noble-looking Crow was overseeing the marsh.

Great Crested Flycatcher

I saw several Great Crested Flycatchers.

Catbird

This Catbird perched right above my head and stayed awhile, unperturbed by my presence.

Dragonfly

Another unknown but beautiful Dragonfly.

Carolina Wren

When all else fails, you can usually count on a Carolina Wren.

Monarch

There are many butterflies at the Nature Center, including this Monarch.

Balck Swallowtail

The colors on this Black Swallowtail are starting to fade.

Dragonfly

This dragonfly close up came out well.

Monarch

An artist could probably do something with a shot like this.
