Bobolinks and more…

Went out this morning (between heavy thunderstorms) to Chagrin River Park with local birder, Bob Herp. Lots of Bobolinks in full alt. plumage, beautiful male Indigo Buntings, a couple American Redstarts and many Red-eyed Vireos and Yellow Warblers singing their little hearts away. Despite the overcast weather, albeit hot and muggy, I was still able to get some decent photos of the Bobolinks and in flight as well. Bob also pointed out a Downy Woodpecker that had a nest in one of the trees.

Eastern U.S. Backyard Birds

January 12

Spent the morning at North Chagrin Nature Center near Willoughby Hills, OH. Although my intention for going there was to locate and photograph the 3-5 Common Redpolls that were recently reported there, I never did find them. I did get a lot better photos of some of the more “common” backyard birds for our friends in the Eastern United States so the effort wasn’t completely in vain.

I scored, what I consider A+, photos of Black-capped Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch, Tufted Titmouse and Downy Woodpecker among many others. See for yourself!
