American Redstart at Wooton Wetlands Preserve

This is a nice variety compared to recent days.[/caption]It was in the low 60s this morning, so I was wearing a light jacket when I arrived around 6:30.
Plenty of birds were active, and I got some good shots almost immediately.
I was going to walk the upper trail, but I got distracted by some good bugs.

This Common Yellowthroat was deep in a small bush, and It took a while to get a decent shot.

Flycatchers are hard to ID, and I’m not sure which this is.

Indigo Bunting

This Indigo Bunting appears to be molting.

American Redstart

This American Redstart is a juvenile.

Red Winged Blackbird

This Red Winged Blackbird posed to well to pass up.

Belted Kingfisher

It’s hard to get a good look at a Belted Kingfisher, but this one landed quite near me.
