Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis)
Cathy and I happened to be driving to Hyattsville today to drop off a package for a friend and decided to go to Greenbelt Park and then Lake Artemesia. Greenbelt Park is nice, but a fair drive from home, so not somewhere we are likely to go unless we’re already in the area. Lake Artemesia is also nice, although with the train tracks running beside it, it wasn’t as quietly peaceful as it might have been. Still, for a suburban park, it was nice and there were a lot of folks enjoying it. We saw a few birds including an oriole (but I didn’t get any photos of that). This eastern bluebird Sialia sialis posed nicely for me on a post as we were returning to our car.
