BIRDING AT HOME
This morning we had a new 'yard bird', an INDIGO BUNTING! This photo underscores the need for us to get a better glass window facing the feeders, or at least one we can open quickly! I also got a nice CHIPPING SPARROW shot today at home
We had a nice, but short, outing at Amherst State Park (Williamsville Glen) in the evening. Light was poor because it was late, and partly cloudy, so a lot of shots were dissapointing! (And hence never made it here). Warbler activity was mostly YELLOW-RUMPED, but also YELLOW, NASHVILLE, and a few BLACK-THROATED GREEN. We also saw FIELD SPARROW, WARBLING VIREO, and abundant BALTIMORE ORIOLES, and a COOPER'S HAWK FEEDING on a small bird at dusk!
