Not too much variety lately. It’s gotten colder, so there may be more good ducks, grebes and loons soon. I’m going to have travel a little further soon, to keep up.
Thomas Point was mostly disappointing, and there wasn’t anything new at Quiet Waters. The weather wasn’t much help, with several inches of snow.
I heard this Pileated Woodpecker drumming for a mate.
There’s always a few Turkey Vultures around.
You can hear Bluebirds often, but they can be hard to find.
Song Sparrows seem to hang out with the White Throated Sparrows.
You can hear Red Bellied Woodpeckers from a long way off.
I’ve seen several large flocks of Dark Eyed Juncos in the park.
Many Tufted Titmice lie in the park.
Carolina Chickadees are seriously energetic.
A Great Blue Heron in onw of the coves.
Tundra Swans hanging out with the Canvasbacks.
I see House Finches only occasionally.
Learn the song of the Carolina Wren and you’ll hear it often.
This Bald Eagle was flying near Thomas Point.
Tundra Swans often get feisty.
White Breasted Nuthatches are doing well.
