Cape May Warbler at Terrapin Nature Park.

Posted on by

Wow! 7 days without a post-a record for me. It was a miserable week of rain, clouds and fog, and the few times I got out weren’t worth the effort.

Today was much better. A great variety of good migrants, despite the fact that only a few gave adequate views for a good image. I’d much rather see good birds I can’t photograph than to see the same old, day after day.

Cattle Egret 2016-4

Cattle Egret 2016-3

The Cattle Egret is another bird I don’t see often. This may be the same one that was hanging around Terrapin last year.

Catbird 2016-2

Gray Catbirds started arriving a week or so ago.

Red Winged Blackbird 2016-16

An unusual pose for a Red Winged Blackbird.

Black Throated Blue Warbler 2016-1

I almost missed this Black Throated Blue Warbler.

Many Rose Breasted Grosbeaks have been seen in our area recently, but this is my first.

Osprey 2016-43

I spent some time watching the Ospreys, in hopes of catching one with a fish, but had no luck.

Common Yellowthroat Warbler 2016-2

I don’t often see Common Yellowthroat Warblers in trees. They’re much more common near the ground in a marsh.

Common Loon 2016-100

I had to get help identifying this Common Loon who flew over the beach.

Yellow Rumped Warbler 2016-15

Yellow Rumped Warbler 2016-12

Yellow Rumped Warbler 2016-13

Yellow Rumped Warblers are the most common Warbler at the moment.

First Eastern Kingbird of the season.

A friend ID’d this Cape May Warbler, a bird I haven’t see very many times.

  1. Great group of pics Hugh. I haven’t seen that you have been to GB lately. Nothing happening there?
