Greetings again,

I spent the day wandering around Huntley and Dyke Marsh again. It was pretty slow and I got a fairly early 0700 start and spent 7 hours.

I'm pretty sure I got a Prothonotary Warbler based on the white underside and bill color.
There is what I think is a Blue Grey Gnat catcher, but I"m not confident. Everything matches but the dark under-tail, which could just be a shadow....
A maybe Eastern Wood Pee Wee and a maybe Thrasher (long billed?)
And one that has me completely stumped. I looked at finches and sparrows with no luck, and even tried crossbills based on an odd shaped bill (might just be the angle though).

All can be seen here:  http://www.pbase.com/jimpoor/inbox


Nothing really unusual out there today, Green Heron, Snowy Egret, Great Egret, Ruby Throated Hummingbird, Grey Catbird, Osprey, Great Blue Heron, DC Cormorant.. etc etc....
Oh and a HUGE pigeon with a red band on it's leg, I might be able to read the numbers in one of the shots....


Thanks
Jim
