It was a dark and stormy morning. Well, not quite, but clouds and wind prevailed. There were some good reports from Wooton yesterday, and I had a brief appointment this morning, so I decided to give it a try.
There was quite a bit of activity, especially among small birds, and it turned out to be a worthwhile trip.
It was much too windy to get any good bug pics, but I gave it a try.
Bluebirds are year ’round residents at Wooton.
The Black and White Warbler and this Yellow Billed Cuckoo are old shots I’ve re-worked.
The Yellow Rumped Warbler will soon be the only warbler we see ’til Spring.
This Tennessee Warbler is a late migrant.
Snowy Egrets will be common for a while. Edit: This is a Little Blue Heron, first I’ve ever seen.
This is the first Golden Crowned Kinglet I’ve seen since Spring.
Downy Woodpeckers are a little easier to find when the leaves have fallen.
This distant bird is probably a female Cooper’s Hawk.
