Activity starting to pick up...

Still a somewhat slow week. I saw my first Piping Plover at Quonnie.

And had a lovely photo shoot with 3 Lesser Yellowlegs which are just starting to come into town...

Then a Great Egret in Breeding Plumage

My Osprey's are also coming in -- but this was odd -- Three Osprey's in a nest. I think maybe there are two males and the second one is thinking he can move is -- but on this day, he moved on.

Just two in a nest that isn't mine...

Three in a nest

Now there are two -- this one fled!

I went to Hammonasset State Park in Madison, CT but dipped on the Western Meadowlark that was there the previous day. I did get these shots of a Golden-crowned Kinglet flashing its crown.

Some photos along the way in Westerly
