As we walked a couple of miles alongside the reservoir, there was a quite a mix of birds. Here are more — some of the images are poor because of the grey skies. The first was this American Kestrel which we flushed walking in but was perched again of the same branch an hour later.
This Red-breasted Merganser was moving away from us.
My “helper” who like me, enjoys our birding outings.
This is a nice time to bird in Vermont as migration continues and almost every day, you can see new arrivals. Here are a few from this week.
The following day, I went up to the local airport looking for American Kestrels spotted this bird flying along the road. The photo is difficult because I had to stop on a busy road, watching for traffic as I shot.
Warblers should be here soon and with temperatures warming, we are looking forward to the return of many more migrants.
