Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis)
Cathy and I went to Rachel Carson Conservation Park on Zion Road this afternoon. Like yesterday’s outing to McKee-Beshers, we weren’t there at the best time of day to see birds, but we did hear quite a few in the meadows at the north end of the property. We saw a few of those that we heard and I photographed a few of those we saw. What that boils down to is that I got a few pictures of one bird, this eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis). In the woods we didn’t even hear many birds. Towards the end of our walk we did see a hairy woodpecker (Leuconotopicus villosus) but it was pretty dark where we were so the pictures I got of that are not very good.
