The warmer weather seems to be here to stay, but the strong winds are an impediment. I went back to Terrapin and CBEC in hopes of migrants, but had to settle for a single Eastern Towhee. Still, I saw some nice birds and got a few decent photos.
These Wood Ducks are nesting deep in the reeds, and it was difficult to get closer.
This Eastern Phoebe may be a migrant, but some stay all Winter.
I caught these Mallards at an unusual angle.
This Belted Kingfisher flew right over my head, and I was lucky to get any image at all.
This Osprey was headed into a strong wind and had trouble making it to the nest. He succeeded eventually.
There are many cool sparrows, but I only seem to get Song Sparrows.
Tree Swallows are everywhere.
A small flock of Greater Yellowlegs continues to feed at Terrapin.
Downy Woodpeckers are often quite at ease being photographed.
I don’t often see female Cowbirds.
This red eyed Eastern Towhee was singing for a mate.
Every marsh has a lot of Red Winged Blackbirds.
