Summer Tanager at Truxtun Park

I looked out this morning at gray and threatening skies and nearly gave up. The weatherman promised the rain would end early, so I took a chance and headed for Wooton. I met my friend Dan there, and we walked the entire loop, finding some nice birds in bad light.
After a few chores and a nap, I drove the short distance to Truxtun, and got a quick look at a Summer Tanager, only my second sighting.

  1. Your postings are wonderful. As a child my grandmother Bixby introduced Sally and I to birds giving us our first bird books.
