This morning
2009.04.25
Starting by the lighthouse at the point, I got a good look at the Purple Martins in their apartments. This is a female who lives at #34.
|
And here with her mate.
|
Doing some preening
|
This handsome cardinal perched above a loud Carolina Wren and added his song to the "Look at Me" refrain in full effect.
|
In the bright sunlight I almost mistook this for a robin, but its song made me do a double take and I recognize him as a Baltimore Oriole.
|
Cormorant gliding on water . . .
|
. . . and on air.
|
One very relaxed Mallard drake.
|
|
The name of the game right now: Migration
|
Mimus polyglottos: Northern Mockingbird
|
Sparrows
|
A female Orchard Oriole. The male, which is a deep, dusty orange, was nearby but I couldn't get a clear line of sight through the trees with my camera.
|
Some old farm machinery at the Beanery.
|
I love these swamps with trees growing out of them.
|
A pea-like wildflower
|
|
Cottontail rabbit nibbling grass.
|
I began my birding today at the Cape May Point and Rea's Farm (the Beanery). Here's some of what I saw.
