This Osprey has found a good sized fish for breakfast.

This Great Blue Heron was in a tree near the boat ramp.

I see Chipping Sparrows more often at the Nature Center than anywhere else.

I haven’t seen many Baltimore Orioles, so this first year bird was a treat.

This is a truth telling blog, and the truth is that Cardinals, like all birds, molt.

A distant Yellow Warbler.

This Goldfinch was foraging with a companion.

Notice how low in the water this Double Crested Cormorant sits.

When he’s ready to leave, the Double Crested Cormorant springs directly from the water.

There are so many Mockingbirds I often pass them by, but this was a perfect pose.

The Great Crested Flycatcher is a favorite of mine.

I’m calling this a Prairie Warbler for now.

Eastern Kingbirds are still plentiful.

The Starling isn’t an attractive bird, but there are many of them.

Everybody likes a Chickadee.

You can see here why the Northern Flicker used to be known as “Yellow Shafted.”

I’m calling this a Magnolia Warbler until corrected.

You can get a good look at the Osprey’s serious talons here.

This Great Blue Heron flew in while I was standing around, so I waited to see what would happen.

So then, he went after a fish.

And he caught a nice size shad.

Now what?

After some judicious juggling, he got it turned around and swallowed it.

And then he flew off.
