052622 Late May Rains Hold Up Some Migrants, But Not Others


 051722                                                      Eastern Wood-Pewee

Today the Least Flycatcher was heard, but this character popped out at the end of the trip.

This Orchard Oriole was observed between raindrops on the second rainy day of four.


                                                    
                                                              Great Crested Flycatcher

A pair of these birds were observed looking for protein when the rain held off for a while.

This was the snag that a two Cliff Swallows had an interest in, though many were scouring the area for gnats and other tiny insects.  They rarely perch as their feet are somewhat rudimentary since they spend so much time on the wing.  Writer also tried for shots yesterday, but it began to rain and that made me more interested in heading home.

A pair of Canada Geese preferred this quiet wet part of The Lowlands in which to set up a respite.  Photo taken to show a little water depth.
