Migrants!

A lot of good reports were coming in about Rotary Park in Cape Coral and all the cards fell into place, Elaine and I ended up there this morning - a great idea!

We arrived early and the place was already abuzz with warblers, come and take a look....

A female Summer Tanager

A Downy woodpecker came around too.

Black-throated Blue Warbler - a male.

Another Summer Tanager

An Eastern Wood-Pewee

American Redstart - how lucky to have him sitting long enough for a photo.

A Yellow-throated Warbler.

A Black-and-white Warbler.

 

A Palm Warbler - they have arrived and they are everywhere - and I love it.

So, if you get a chance - take it. Check my list - which would have been bigger if I didn't have to leave early.

Bailey Tract's surprises

Every time that I step out - I open myself to receive the gifts of nature - today I left my foot prints next to a gator's print.....what a way to start the day!

A pair of Kestrel watched me as I approached.

I had to return the favor and watch in return - what a beautiful bird!

The Palm Warblers have arrived -  a dime a dozen - but what's not to like, this one even has a rusty cap on.

A Mourning Dove taking a snooze.

And a Gray Kingbird made a magical appearance this morning .... this sealed the day! Tweet!
