Marshlands Conservancy - 13th September

A nice day at Marshland Conservancy, but with not much in the way of migrants. The only warblers on show were a large number of Common Yellowthroat, and a couple of Black-and-White Warbler. A Red-shouldered Hawk was a nice surprise though.

Wild Turkey. Quite a surprise to find these so close to a major city. I had imagined they'd be vulnerable to harassment by dogs and similar, but here they are.

Great Blue Heron.

White-breasted Nuthatch. I just love nuthatches!

Red-shouldered Kite. A very poor shot, included as it shows the pale crescent on the upper primaries which is the key identification feature of this migrant.

Male White-tailed Deer. Lots of these today. I must have seen 20 in total, some of them very tame indeed.
