Robin

American Robin, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 19 May 2018.

American Robin.

Led a bird walk up the wooded trail this morning, which was a lot of fun. Afterward, I hiked all trails with Jack. My feet got kind of sore from all that hiking—but in a good way.

Here’s a photo of a robin.

Fallout!

Wednesday, August 30th, 2017
Black-and-white Warbler (female), Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 30 August 2017.

Black-and-white Warbler (female).

An overcast morning, still and cool. Jack and I started up the trail and got no further than around the first bend when I realized slowly that we were surrounded by little flitting warblers. Also vireos, chickadees, titmice, etc. But a genuine, smallish (but still impressive) early season fallout.

Black-and-white Warbler.

So dim was the light, though, that I couldn’t manage decent photos of the Pine Warbler, the American Redstarts, the Magnolia Warbler, and the tiny Cape May (I believe) that perched for just an instant about six feet above us. Thanks be to the female Black-and-white Warbler that poked about in the bark above us, hesitating just long enough to allow for a couple of not-too-blurry portraits.

Sure was exciting, though. (Can hardly wait for morning.)
