Day 17.134: Last bird walk

We made it up and out to the last of the series of bird walks for this season at the cemetery. That makes three this year - up from just one (with Dad) last year.

Here are some of the things we saw this morning:

Snapping turtle

Great crested flycatcher

Young brown-headed cowbird

Immature bald eagle way out over the other side of the river

Red-breasted nuthatch

They were very busy presumably feeding young in the nest we had seen them preparing back on the first spring walk we joined.

We also heard (clearly) eastern wood pewee and warbling vireo both of which were new to us to identify (albeit only by sound).
