I woke up early, undecided as to where to go, and just headed back to Blackwater, hoping for another good day.
I didn’t get the variety, but the weather was perfect, and there were plenty of birds to choose from. I’m starting to suspect that Fox Squirrels are easier to find in the Summer.
Dawn at Blackwater.
This Orchard Oriole has a nest along Wildlife Drive.
This may be an Acadian Flycatcher.
This Red Headed Woodpecker is from yesterday.
Great Egrets seem to be the most common wading bird.
This is a Great Crested Flycatcher.
This Blue Grosbeak female was a surprise.
This Canada Goose pair is escorting their brood.
Several Eastern Kingbirds were foraging in the marsh.
This female Red Winged Blackbird has found a tasty snack.
This Bald Eagle pair has a nest nearby.
This appears to be a Greater Yellowlegs.
I got a better look at the Glossy Ibis today.
