My detective skills lead me to believe there is one less Rose-Breasted Grosbeak in the world.
I did see a live Rose-Breasted Grosbeak, but it would not cooperate for a photo.
Yellow-Rumped Warbler

Low-bush Blueberry (the supposed butterfly magnet)

Spring Azure

There were Spring Azures everywhere at Great Meadow. Really a great number of them, sometimes four flying together. I also saw another Eastern Tiger Swallowtail flying here.
Looks like you enjoyed a beautiful, fruitful spring day. Great to see so many butterflies about.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs. I'm wondering if the bird labelled as a Black-and-white could be a female Magnolia Warbler? In any event, the bird appears yellow underneath (to my eye), which would rule out Black-and-white.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your suggestion, Josh. I think it's a better option than the B&W Warbler, particularly since it wasn't doing the B&W behavior. It was picking at insects from under the leaves, rather than trailing up or down the branches and bark.
