| 5/12/09 Had to run down and check out the scene near Delaware City, DE where the habitat is great for the Yellow-breasted Chat and Indigo Bunting. Sure enough, they were there with a Yellow Warbler who posed nicely for the camera. |
| 5/13/09 A couple of short forays over to WCC State Park, DE yielded some great birds for us. A Barred Owl (tho a very sleepy one) is always fun to see, as was a Ruby-throated Hummingbird sitting on a nest! We saw a Yellow-throated Vireo while a Canada Warber was foraging hungrily and gobbled down a spider. |
| 5/13/09 A Red-tailed Hawk with a snake was attacked by two crows right over our deck. Unfortunately, our image stabilizer was off in our rush to catch the picture! Still, caught some of the action. |
| 5/17/09 The morning of our son's graduation (YEAH!) we (no laggards ourselves) were out bright and early taking pictures in Henderson, NV. WOW! We were hoping for a Black-chinned hummingbird and it was the first bird we saw - a lovely little fellow who posed nicely. We saw Gadwall , Cinnamon Teal , Redhead , Eared Grebe , and a male Verdin feeding its chicks at the nest (which is of an interesting construction). Just about everything was in flower. A Marsh Wren was singing as White-faced Ibis flew overhead. Our outing ended with a Greater Roadrunner showing up! |
| 5/16/09 Early morning found us out at Corn Creek Bird Preserve, NV where we spotted Western Tanager , Black-chinned Hummingbird (a few) , and Lucy's Warbler (a number were singing). We will post more pics from here later. We ventured onward up into the mountains and saw a Black-throated Gray Warbler , A Western Scrub-Jay , a Townsend's Warbler and a Green-tailed Towhee. Back in Henderson, NV, we saw many Ruddy Duck interacting, an Eared Grebe displaying , and a Black Phoebe. |
