The first bird that I saw out the back door was this bright Northern Parula - this photo is from the back door in poor lighting. Definitely brightened up the day!
Northern ParulaI then decided to head for East Fork State Park. Got a later start then I wanted to, but the birding was good for warblers in the backyard early on.
Saw more Ospreys, 5 in total. One was dive-bombing an adult Bald Eagle high above the lake!
Osprey
Also saw 40 Blue-winged Teal way out over the lake. A Sharp-shinned Hawk also attempted a sneak attack on some European Starlings and Killdeer right in front of me. Not a bad way to spend my day off!
