Bluebirds at Dawn

I went out early this morning when it was 60 degrees, knowing it was to be in the 90s later.  I stopped at Rural Cemetery in Southboro.  Eastern Bluebirds and Chipping Sparrows were hunting insects from the tombstones.

It was too hot to go for a walk during my lunch break, so I just enjoyed the shade of my backyard and the various critters around home.

 Downy Woodpecker

It's on the tree that most of my feeder birds roost on.

 Ruby-Throated Hummingbird

Red-Spotted Purple

  Northern Flicker

After work, I headed over to Tower Hill Botanic Garden.  There were lots of birds, so it was a good stop.  It was still 80 degrees when I left there after sunset.
