Today I went back to Matheson and took my time. No breeding activity (at least to my inexperienced eye), but I have to remember it's only February. Patience is a skill I still need to work on. I walked the west side forest trail first, but no birds seen (which might be because of the habitat or the early hour).
 |
| Kestrels, kestrels everywhere |
 |
| White Ibis. |
 |
| Northern Mockingbird |
 |
| Red-bellied Woodpecker |
 |
| Male Northern Cardinal |
 |
| Eastern Phoebe |
 |
| Palm Warbler. A wise birder once told me that 90% of warblers I'll see will be Palm Warblers |
 |
| Ring-billed Gull |
 |
| American Crow (again, I'm assuming) |
 |
| Eurasian Collared Dove |
 |
| Great Blue Heron |
 |
| Double-crested Cormorant |
 |
| Turkey Vulture |
 |
| Little Blue Heron |
 |
| Kildeer |
 |
| Also a Palm Warbler, but this one has the rufous crown that is part of their breeding plumage. Two questions: Isn't their breeding season later in the year? and Do both males and females have the crowns? From what I'm reading, it seems they both do... |
 |
| Is this a Willet? |
 |
| Brown Pelican |
