Still hoping for warblers, I had another go at Terrapin this morning.
The Yellow Rumps are still around in large numbers but no others appeared.
A few Terns and a nice moth saved the day.
I’ve never seen this Spotted Forester Moth before.
This Turkey Vulture barely moved as I approached.
Several Wood Ducks are resident at Terrapin.
I sometimes this there’s too many Yellow Rumped Warblers.
Bluebirds have been scarce this year.
Cornell: “As large as a big gull, the Caspian Tern is the largest tern in the world. Its large coral red bill makes it one of the most easily identified terns throughout its worldwide range.”
Cornell: “One of several medium-sized terns that are similar in appearance, the Forster’s Tern breeds primarily in marshes and winters along the coasts. The comma-shaped black ear patch in winter plumage is distinctive, but some other plumages are very confusing.”
