I checked with my Facebook group last to try to find a new spot, and they recommended the Governor Bridge Natural Area, which is on 301 South, and not too far from my home. I headed there at about 9:30. It’s certainly got possibilities, with a large wooded area, a meadow/shrub area and a large lake. but there was very little action. I’ll try it again some day.
One advantage of Fall is the possibility of new backgrounds for birds like this Eastern Phoebe.
This Bald Eagle flew over the lake shortly after I arrived, and was the highlight of the day.
This Great Blue Heron also flew over the lake.
I saw large flocks of Song Sparrows.
Goldfinches were numerous also.
It took me half an hour to get a decent picture of this Ruby Crowned Kinglet as he flitted rapidly from branch to branch.
