Belle Isle

This post covers Sunday (eBird checklist) before Easter and Easter Sunday (eBird checklist).


Brown Creeper


Above and below:  Eastern Phoebe in forsythia.




On the red-headed woodpecker trail, on the right side, I was surprised to see a Blanding's turtle.


Female American Robin


The only Fox Sparrow seen or heard all morning.


Easter Sunday female Red-wing Blackbirds


Above and below:  The elegant, little white trout lily (Erythronium albidum) was abundant.



Probably female first spring Red-bellied Woodpecker.


In a large puddle in the field just beyond the Maritime Museum, I was surprised to see a male Blue-winged Teal hanging out with a mallard pair.



Finally, I was able to get a shot of female Rusty Blackbird.
