The Seek app tells me these are native Slender Yellow Woodsorrel. They're pretty.

Its spring! The ducks are egg sitting.

See if you can find the eel. About 2' long I estimate. Northwest Branch a bit down stream of Kemp Mill Rd. Never saw one before. Oh and fireflies are going off in my backyard. I love those critters...

Dead smack in the center of the picture, along the shade/light section.

Went out fishing this morning and the dog was thick! Later it burned off in a cool way(around 10am)

Yup. Where are you fishing? That sure looks like a place I have been but it's just not clicking.

Poor pic from the new phone... I'll get used to it at some point

The male of a pair of Merlin which seem to have started playing house at FtSmallwood park.

the last weeks worth of birding, first yellow-rumped warbler and oven bird of the year

Very nice pix.

We see YRWA year-round, but the full color version is always cool.

I have to admit, in all these years I've never seen an Ovenbird anywhere but on the ground! I thought I heard one yesterday, but couldn't lock it in.

Thank you,
I knew they perched high while singing but never got photos of them in a tree and we get Kentucky warblers year-round here, which are cool but they are so hard to see because they are real flighty.

Not 20 feet from us today...

We also saw our first hummingbird of the spring and a Black Throated Blue Warbler (slightly later than normal).
