Mid-May Outings – part 1

Posted on May 17, 2021 by Richard

With migration in full swing and trees leafing out fast, it’s been a good time to get out with the dog and check things out. The other day we came across this guy who was waiting for the morning sun to get up and going.

A big one ..

Shortly thereafter, a Bald Eagle, being harassed by a Common Raven, flew over.

This female Baltimore Oriole never really showed itself but was singing loudly in our back yard.

This Mourning Dove, in the next tree branch over, was a perfect subject, sitting still for minutes.

And just upriver, a Solitary Sandpiper, all by itself, was patiently feeding, ignoring us.

It’s a great time of year in New England for birds and birders. Get out there!
