053020 Migrants Are Still Northbound


053020                                                   American Redstart



                                                             Double-crested Cormorant
                                                                          Juvenile

Today was a little less productive than yesterday, BUT the highlight of the day was this late American Redstart, which I think is a first year male.  The adults should already be on breeding territory, and the juveniles are last to go in the normal hierarchy.  It is possible that it could be a female, but I don't believe so.

This Double-crested Cormorant is a juvenile and is still molting into its adult plumage.  I have never seen the plumage in this state of dress before so felt that a photo was in order.
