Ruby Throated Hummingbird at Wooton’s Landing

Posted on by

Migration is clearly under way, so I went back to Wooton to see what new birds might appear. There was a fly over Great Egret, and a Double Crested Cormorant, but the hummingbird was  a nice treat.

It was a little slower than yesterday, and there wasn’t much at Sands Road, either, but I got some good shots any way.

I got very close to this Mourning Dove before he flew off.

This fly over Double Crested Cormorant was a big surprise.
