We had significant rain last night, and there was a slight drizzle when I awoke at 5:00 AM, but the weatherman promised it would be dry for the nerxt 6 hours, so I went off to Possum Point. It was very cloudy, but the temperature rose quickly, and I was in shirt sleeves by 8:30.
It wasn’t a great day, but I got a few decent shots.
These Double Crested Cormorants were fishing right at the tip of the point.
The Osprey nesting platforms don’t go to waste when the Ospreys migrate.
This Catbird will be heading for the Caribbean soon.
There’s a stretch of trail at Greenbury Point where I seldom find any birds at all, so this Common Yellowthroat Warbler was a surprise.
I only got a quick look at this bird, so I didn’t expect it to be a Red Eyed Vireo.
This Palm Warbler is a Summer resident at Greenbury Point.
This Great Blue Heron may have been napping.
This Goldfinch is changing to his Winter plumage.
This appears to be an Indigo Bunting.
This Blue Grosbeak is another who will be leaving us soon.
This bathing Cardinal may have preferred not to be photographed in this state.
Did not know that birds got winter plumage..poor little cardinal. If only she knew.
the red eyed vireo blends with the foliage so well I almost missed it!
