We've been seeing Mourning Cloaks for several weeks, Commas for the past 2, and a couple days ago a Spring Azure.I saw a white butterfly today. No pics though.
We're seeing Canadas starting to stake out nesting spots. Worth it to steer clear of them for a while.Came home to find that my migratory neighbors are in town for their annual visit. They'll stay for about a week.

I have a big river birch in my front yard. I never realized how many small branches those trees just drop every year. As I cleaned up it occured to me that these trees are native to exactly the same kinds of areas favored by ospreys and eagles who need huge numbers of branches to build their nests every year.I saw an osprey building a nest near the mouth of the Severn yesterday.
Red Tail, yes.
Very cool, definitely!
We took a friend to DC yesterday. There was a big red-tailed hawk riding the air currents over the west front of the Capitol, looking for squirrels.
Not in Maryland, but close enough. I think it’s a red tail hawk.
Arrive very early. The crowds were already insane in some areas.I was thinking of driving to DC today to photograph the Cherry trees, I might do that tomorrow if its warmer out.
You might be too late! We had 18 MPH winds here in Davidsonville. Cherry trees don't like those kinds of winds.I was thinking of driving to DC today to photograph the Cherry trees, I might do that tomorrow if its warmer out.

My friend is planning to do a trail at Hains Point tomorrow that supposedly has great views of the trees with smaller crowds.oh I'd be there at 730 at the latest, get that morning hour light

Those are called a$$hole snakes. They're seriously the most aggressive snakes I've ever come across and they're built like pitbulls.Saw two of them yesterday 30 yards apart from each other. What kind of snakes are they?
