| Bachman's Sparrow |
My main goal in visiting Wekiwa Springs State Park this morning was to see a Bachman's Sparrow. So I was excited when I heard one sing (to me it sounds like it's saying "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!"). And then another popped up onto a branch right at about eye level. The lighting was nice--I didn't even need exposure compensation. In some of these photos, it looks like this sparrow has something on it's belly, and I can't tell if it's a tick or something else. I did get one email suggesting that it's probably a soft tick that will drop off when it's taken its fill of blood.

Other highlights were several Chipping Sparrows, American Goldfinches, Eastern Bluebirds, Carolina Chickadees. lots of Pine Warblers singing, one Red-headed Woodpecker seen from a distance, and one Brown-headed Nuthatch.
