Today for Memorial Day, we visited Brecksville Reservation. It was a beautiful day, and we had some amazing new sightings!
Red-headed woodpeckers!
A beautiful Prothonotary Warbler, our first great warbler sighting
A shot of the warbler singing
Our most exciting shot of the day, on Memorial Day no less, was the Bald Eagle
You can see there's a Baltimore Oriole that was flitting around the eagle, but he didn't seem to mind
Such a beautiful bird
Here's a shot of the Bald Eagle nest, where the three juveniles that were born this year live
One of the babies stretching its wings
A mallard mama and her six babies
A turkey vulture
Gorgeous Brecksville Reservation
This little guy jumped on the path in front of us!
On the banks of the Cuyahoga River
There's a Belted Kingfisher sitting on the branch
A Baltimore Oriole
Another new sighting, the Tree Swallow
Another exciting new bird, the Northern Flicker
Another sighting of the mallard with her babies.
Until next time!
Wow - wonderful day out there I see! Beautiful photos!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Another batch of awesome photos. Favorites are, of course, the Bald Eagle. But I really liked the Tree Swallow (especially with head cocked sideways) and the Prothonotary Warbler (especially singing!). Plus always good to see a frog and the photo from the banks of the Cuyahoga was very nice.
