Late June and Blue Skies
Skies were blue this Sunday morning but the foliage was covered in rain drops from earlier. One of the first birds I encountered was this stately looking Tree Swallow perched over one of the small ponds. After rain subsides it always seems like bird activity picks up and so it was today. I saw a number of good species including a female Common Yellowthroat, Yellow Warbler, Gray Catbird, Baltimore Oriole, Black-capped Chickadee, Mallard, House Finch, American Redstart, American Goldfinch and American Robin. Most birds were busy feeding either themselves or bringing the food back to nests. I also saw large clumps of Common Milkweed, Swamp Milkweed and a pretty patch of these tiny white flowers called "Fleabane."
