Least Sandpiper at Terrapin Nature Park

Back to Terrapin again.  One of these days I’ll see some warblers there, but not today. I also tried to get a good shot of the large snapping turtle, but he stays too far out in the marsh.

The Wood Ducks are still cooperating, and the sandpipers were a nice surprise.

I heard this Great Crested Flycatcher in the tree tops, and it took a while to find him.

Red Winged Blackbird 102

Red Winged Blackbirds are probably the most common bird at Terrapin.
