Yet another fine Fall day, even if it does make you wonder if it’s a bit too warm for this time of year. Quiet Waters is closed on Tuesdays, but gas is still expensive, so I went to Greenbury Point, which is only a few miles.
I found a nice variety of birds, and noticed that the Navy has done some extensive land clearing in order to remove some invasive plant species. They destroyed a lot of good habitat, but it may be good in the long run.
White Throated Sparrows will be with us until Spring.
I often see Red Bellied Woodpeckers in this large tree near the Nature Center.
Field Sparrows lost a lot of habitat in the clearing process.
This Eastern Phoebe has found a nice meal.
There were several Cowbirds soaking up the rays in a large tree.
I saw several Cooper’s Hawks and a Bald Eagle when I first arrived.
This Carolina Wren was singing loudly.
The Navy has put a lot of effort into promoting the Bluebird population.
Yellow Rumped Warblers are present in large numbers.
