It was raining this morning, and I thought the day was lost.\, but we got some sunshine around 9:00, so I went to the local parks.
Quiet Waters lived up to its name, with virtually no interesting birds. Truxtun Park wasn’t much better, but I did find a Cardinal gathering nesting material.
These Turtles were enjoying the sunshine.
Cornell:”Nuthatches are active, agile little birds with an appetite for insects and large, meaty seeds. They get their common name from their habit of jamming large nuts and acorns into tree bark, then whacking them with their sharp bill to “hatch” out the seed from the inside. White-breasted Nuthatches may be small but their voices are loud, and often their insistent nasal yammering will lead you right to them.”
This Tufted Titmouse seemed to be curious about me.
Northern Rough Winged Swallows went missing last year.
This Osprey was cruising at Quiet Waters.
This Cardinal is probably building a nest very near to where I found her.
