Trail full of birds

There were a few tiny birds at Honeymoon Island Park at the end of January. Tons of yellow rumped warblers and the last one is an eastern towhee.

The parking lot was full of yellow rumped warblers. They thought the cars were something to play on.

A very young bald eagle flew by as I headed out on the trail.

I always see kestrels in the winter here.

The trail was full of osprey. They were eating, preening and doing a few other things. That last one I took directly in the sun but it was too funny not to post.

I found a headless osprey in a tree.

Oh wait, he was just turned around.

All of the usuals at Honeymoon Island State Park.

Around the neighborhood

Ducks at the neighborhood pond. I haven’s seen a creme colored one around here before.

My neighborhood osprey finally came back. He’s been gone since March. I’m assuming he’s been off nesting and raising babies. He usually comes back in early July but this year it was late August. Now he sleeps on my neighbor’s sailboat mast and eats his meals on my neighbors dock.

View from the backyard. After the storm, the sun peaked out right before it went down.

Close by where I live, a phone pano of a storm coming in.

A few things around the neighborhood in early September.
