| The state bird of Maryland, the Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula). |
Today is
International Migratory Bird Day. And to celebrate, I thought I'd share another thing I learned this semester. Predictable, I know. But at least it has to do with migratory birds. Two of them, in fact, both new to my yard (at least as far as I can tell). I happened to catch a glimpse of both a Baltimore Oriole and a yellow-rumped warbler, two migratory species known to spend time in Maryland. Both were a little shy, but I managed to catch them on camera before they took off. I guess it will take some time for them to get used to me sticking my lense out of the window. But I'm very happy they are around!
