Back to Beach 11 at Presque Isle State Park this past Sunday, featuring a Northern Flicker in flight, exhibiting food carrying behavior (some sort of caterpillar in its beak):
The Black Locust trees (Robinia pseudoacacia) are currently in bloom, here with a male Indigo Bunting:
Great sequence of different birds. Great photos, as usual!
Almost always something interesting to see at Beach 11, even if on this occasion the shorebird activity was fairly minimal. (Spotted Sandpipers were in the dunes, whereas there was no activity at water’s edge itself.)
