Lately I have been seeing a lot of new birds...some totally new to me, first time ever! Unfortunately I haven't been carrying my camera around. But yesterday I had it with me and was able to take these shots down by the south side river trail:
Brown Headed Cow bird (he was with a female as well, she was gray):
Baby robin, still has a spotted breast, eating Juneberries:
Cedar waxwing, first in a sycamore tree, then in the Juneberry tree:
I am so happy to have seen a cedar waxwing! I've wanted to see one for a while, even dreamed about having seen one once, and now, finally, here it is. It was also my first time seeing the cowbird and the baby robin (with speckled breast.)
I've also been spotted and trying to differentiate swallows. I saw a gray headed catbird for the first time, a yellow warbler and a wood thrush (oh I wish I had my camera...it would have been a good picture, it didn't flit about like the yellow warbler!) I also saw a scarlet tanager. The thrush and tanager were in Cedar Creek, along the
GAP bicycle trail (Great Allegheny Passage).
So many of these birds are along the river trail!
