April Break

So, this week was my April Break for school, so I did a lot of birding this weekend. It was cool that the Tree Swallows are here, and they are one of my favorite birds.

They were very easy to photograph, especially for the aerodynamic swallows that they are. They were often perched so that was good. We did go to the Mansfield Hollow Dam to see some birds, very close to home. We saw a lot of birds but as a subpar photographer, I had a tough time taking pictures. Here are some of the good ones.
On Sunday we went to Bluff Point and got some more yearbirds. My yearlist is at 63 right now, and we got some bad views of new yearbirds like Double-crested Cormorant and Northern Mockingbird. We also saw a female Common Merganser which yielded some more average photos. I will most likely do more birding this week. But that's all for now!
