Magee Marsh again

Again, on Saturday,  I went to Magee Marsh with birding friend Rodolfo Palma.  Overall, it was a slow birding day.  But it was Magee Marsh in May so we still saw lots of birds. 

Prothonotary Warbler
Again
Common as it it, I can't resist an American Robin
perched in the sun
A Fox snake added some excitement to our day
This was a long, large snake and it slowly
slithered up a smallish tree.
The was the first time I have seen a Fox snake; so named
because it emits the musky odor of a fox or skunk when
distressed.
Nest with two baby robins.
Philadelphia Vireo - perhaps my best bird for the day.  I
took approximately 20 images but this was my only
semi-salvageable shot.

Tree Swallow
