The last two days have been very slow indeed. Trips to Truxtun Park, Greenbury Point, Terrapin Park and my local neighborhood have been virtually barren. Even the usual Sparrows, Cardinals and Woodpeckers have been in short supply, and Winter light has been poor in cloudy conditions. A lone hawk and a few Bluebirds were my only salvation. I’ll stay on the hunt.

This is probably a Cooper’s Hawk, and I only got a quick look as he soared over Greenbury Point looking for a meal.

A flock of Cedar Waxwings was foraging in the tree farm.

Even a gloomy, gray Winter sky can’t diminish a Bluebird’s beauty.
