With good weather promised, I decided to repeat yesterday’s route, and I’m glad I did. Wooton was gray and gloomy, but cleared after an hour or so. I sorted through dozens of Yellow Rumps, but didn’t find anything interesting.
I then headed for Sands Road, where things picked up immediately. I basically stayed in one small area for an hour or so of excellent birding.
I did a quick bug check without finding anything new.
This Sharp-Shinned Hawk was looking for an easy meal at Wooton.
This American Redstart is a re-edit.
I was lucky to get this close to a Yellow Bellied Sapsucker.
This Yellow Rumped Warbler was captured in the early fog.
I’m not really a Sparrow guy, but they have their own appeal, like this Savannah Sparrow.
This Ruby Throated Hummingbird is another re-edit.
If you go to Sands Road, just set up here, next to the parking lot.
You can find Ruby Crowned Kinglets just about anywhere you look.
This Fall Goldfinch was a nice surprise.
This Flycatcher flew into a nearby tree and posed for a while.
Prairie Warbler – another re-edit.
There are many Palm Warblers at Sands Road.
Bluebirds hang out near the parking lot.
This Northern Flicker was also shot in the fog.
Today’s Bugs and a couple of webs.
