Ft. Fisher was slow on Thursday after work, but even a bad hour of birding is better than rotting in the office.
Boat-tailed Grackle - yes I still have some easy winter birds left. In fact I still don't have a picture of a Blue Jay!
Laughing Gull - I have one already, but I had to take a picture because he is so handsome with his breeding plumage now. And of course they were all laughing like the insane clowns they are.
Ring-billed Gull - have one of these too, but look how pretty when the head is clean white.
Saturday before Luke's soccer game, I went to the Battleship to see if the rails would be cooperating. I heard what I think was a King Rail, but no dice on pictures.
Rusty Blackbird - Ok so last weekend I said I was having trouble getting pictures so I settled for a female. Well this morning they were all over and I got me a male.
Common Yellowthroat - year bird although they can be had year round.
After the kids soccer we headed to Shelton Herb Farms to get salad for the garden and I took the scenic route through Lee Bucks Rd. Nothing special but a beautiful day for a country drive.
American Kestrel - this is the female. There was a male too.
Tomorrow I might go try for the Lincoln's Sparrows Sherry Lane reported at Holly Shelter Marina.
Great times.
