It would be hard to ask for better March werather than we had this morning. The temperature was about 40 and rising, and the sky was nearly cloud-free.
I had decided yesterrday to try Greenbury Point again, and I stopped at Jonas Green Park on the way. I found a nice Song Sparrow, but not much else.
Greenbury Point was similarly unproductive, so I went back to Truxtun Park, where I did much better. This birding stuff is hit and miss at times.
This Bufflehead was feeding at Possum Point.
This Fox was unusually cooperative, especially in daylight.
Dark Eyed Juncos will be heading North soon.
I watched this Belted Kingfisher fishing in the distance for a while, then he moved to a closer tree.
The bridge at Truxtun is a good place to find hawks like this Sharp-Shinned Hawk. The fragmite is full of small birds like Sparrows and Redwing Blackbirds.
This pair of Canada Goose may be nesting soon.
These Mallards were dabbling in the creek.
This is probably a Cooper’s Hawk.
What a great day you had out ! The fox shots are fantastic, and super find and pics of the Sharpie ! North Beach just hurt my head. Too many ducks too far away. But some cute grebes close up.
