Some Good Ones

Chestnut-sided Warbler, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 25 May 2018.

Chestnut-sided Warbler.

A warm, windy day—warm even fairly early. And windy enough that even a good long hike didn’t bring the number of species I’ve been used to lately. Still some good ones, though.

Gray Catbird, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 25 May 2018.

Gray Catbird.

Up to about 84 degrees (F) this afternoon. I mowed the lawn.

Alder Flycatcher, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine 24 May 2018.

Alder Flycatcher.

Alder Flycatchers are back, and that makes me happy. They’re not a striking bird to look at. Not particularly great singers. But by now I know and love them—along with the Great Crested Flycatchers we’ve had these years.

Of course a lot of other birds I love, as well.

Tanagers

Scarlet Tanager, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 23 May 2018

Scarlet Tanager.

I can dig chasing down a Scarlet Tanager. I like sneaking along the understory, scanning the newly leafed-out crowns of of the hardwoods, hoping for just a glimpse of red. Well, today I got a look at at least two—and I’m wondering how I might prolong this thing.

Excited to find out what tomorrow brings.
