It’s been slow birding for nearly a week. We had some rain as well, so I’m getting behind. I managed to get out a little bit, so I’m including a compilation of my trip to Bombay Hook and a few lecent local images.
I’m still not finding warblers like I want to, but at least I’m seeing a few migrants.
Indigo Buntings are reliable at Greenbury Point.
I’ve always liked Great Crested Flycatchers.
This Osprey was at CBEC.
Great Egrets are also here in numbers.
I found these Semi-Palmated Plovers at Terrapin.
I used to see many more Eastern Bluebirds than I’m finding recently.
I would have liked better lighting for this Yellow Warbler.
Snowy Egrets are plentiful now.
Treer Swallows are thriving everywhere I go.
I don’t often see Least Sandpipers on the road.
A few Black Necked Stilts were feeding on the flats.
You can usually find a few Bald Eagles at Bombay Hook.
Mute Swans are considered pests, and I don’t see many near the bay any more.
It wouldn’t be a marsh without Red Winged Blackbirds.
You’ll often find Common Yellowthroats near the water’s edge.
This Marsh Wren is a first for me.
I used to see many more Eastern Bluebirds than I’m finding recently.
I’ve seen Dunlins before, but not this close.
I saw this Eastern Box Turtle crossing the road, and gave him a hand.
