Goldfinch at Governor Bridge Natural Area

It was cloudy again, with the promise of clearing skies, and that’s what we got.
There was reasonable activity today, but still no large number of migrants. I had to do some searching to find the birds I did see.
I spent some time examining a goldenrod field, which is a good source for bugs. A Tree Frog showed, as well.

This Tree Frog was sitting on a small leaf.

This Ruby Throated Hummingbird popped up right in front of me.
