May 2011 (Woodstock, Hurley and W. Hurley locales)

Springtime... promises, promises

***

In my own backyard

Flicker - an early arrival

   Prairie warbler - tiny bird, a difficult catch

***

At Hurley Swamp, off Rt. 309

The swamp

yellow-throat

A really redwing

Portrait of a catbird

Goldfinch

***

At the marsh off Sawkill Rd

A beaver and his tail

And the herons begin their return

Oh, Canada...

Elegant mallard

Immature bald eagle, at a distance, high up in a tree
