Hooded Warbler

Hooded Warblers have been on my list for several years….rarely have I had a chance to photograph them and do them justice.
When we arrived at Magee on Saturday, May 4th, we were amazed at the numbers and variety of birds showing. Hoodeds were in that list, and there were several showing up conspicuously on the boardwalk.

Another Spring Weekend

Here's an Osprey from Old Reid Park:

It didn’t hesitate to snatch a carp from the pond right in front of us!

While watching the Osprey, this Coot tried to look cute to see if we would toss some bread…

The Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher was curious.

And eventually headed back to the treetops….

Owletts....Now Young Adults

Colorful Birds

I was able to spend a short time at George Rogers Clark Park….was able to see Northern Parula, Blue Headed Vireo, and Indigo Bunting.

Aliens are growing (Great Horned Owlets)

Just 9 days after our last visit, we took advantage of the warm Sunday afternoon and visited the Prairie’s Edge owletts. Amazing how much they’re!
Mom was no where in sight, but that’s not surprising….I doubt that she can fit in the nest with the chicks at this point. Notice that they are staring to get their “horns.”
