Windswept Alvars...


A recent trip to Carden Alvar produced some nice birds and photo opportunities. It was cold though, and horribly windy so the birding was indeed a challenge. We found most of what was there though, eventually. We missed the Loggerhead Shrikes, but most folks have been struggling of late.

The highlight of the day was finding some cooperative wetland species at Prospect Marsh. Above is a lovely Sora, one of many that were calling in the vicinity. We had some great looks but this bird was a little tricky to photograph in the open, always dashing between areas of cover. Still, it matters not. I actually like bird photos where the subject is partially hidden within its habitat. Now there a great excuse if ever I saw one!


We also had good luck seeing a nice Virginia Rail...


And, en route we stopped off at Nonquon Sewage Lagoon, where there were many Black Terns sweeping across the cells. Always a crowd pleaser...

Beautiful pix. I was hoping to connect with you about moths. I have been working with county extension in Burlco on a moth population project (corn pests)and have found lovely moths in my traps. I would like to know more about them - sphinx moths, hawk and tiger moths... beautiful little delicate creatures. A friend suggested I contact you.

Small women are believed to find it more complicated
to use fat than larger women as they have got a smaller calorie need.

If you have a website, you can use Google Trends for your
website traffic to increase as well. This glass would cost less than
$1000 and would be available to almost all the people in Britain.
You can only visit once a day and there is no guarantee that
you will get anything from it but as I always say,
free is free.
