Damp Week for Birding

Last week, we had mostly overcast or rainy days. At Springbank, I had a good opportunity to photo a family of Eastern Kingbirds.  But the photos ended up blurry and with overcast skies, very dull. 


I watched a Green Heron at Westminster Ponds.  A few times, the Red-winged Blackbirds were chasing it around the marsh.

I came across a Red-tailed Hawk having a meal. Blurry photos.





Lots of beautiful water lilies in the marsh blooming.

At the Coves yesterday, I saw my first of the year Great Egret.  We had rain Friday and overnight so the Coves were very wet, muddy and lots of mosquitoes.



I could not find many butterflies or dragonflies.  I hope next week, I can find some.
