NEW SPECIES WITH SPRING BIRDS IN THE FIELD

5/13/2018

This time of year is probably my favorite to be photographing our bird friends. Everything is a renewal and a resurrection of life. The air is fresher, the sky bluer,the trees greener. It gets an old man up and going in the morning!!. The return of all our local summer residents is a bonanza of photo opportunities. I have seen and gotten pics of many old friends already. Along with the many species seen in The Field previously, it has been exciting to see two new species that are “lifer” birds for me, as well as seeing my first male Bobolink here. After the male Bobolinks had left, a few females showed up and stayed for a few days. The new species seen are the Blackpoll Warbler and the Dicksissel. These are firsts for me and no one else has seen them here before. There are large numbers of Blue Grosbeaks, King Birds, Common Yellowthroats, and Indigo Buntings in The Field this year. I have also seen White Eyed and Red Eyed Vireos.Eastern Meadowlarks and Red-winged Blackbirds are building nests in the tall grass. The pics below are from the last  four days. Enjoy!
