Eastern Bluebird
It was a very cloudy day, but I decided to go back to the Clark's Creek Nature Preserve. It wasn't nearly as "birdy" as it was on my previous trips there, and the approaching storm may have given cause for some of the migrating birds to move on, and perhaps some new ones to move in. As I started my hike, I saw some of the regulars there.

When I got to the pond, a Red-tailed Hawk flew across it, and a Great Blue Heron took off. A flock of Canada Geese flew overhead. A Belted Kingfisher was there, and a Yellow-rumped Warbler was perched along the pond.

As I hiked back toward the shelter, I saw several American Goldfinches, some White-throated Sparrows, a Brown Thrasher, and a pair of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers - a juvenile and an adult.

I hiked the deep woods trail, and added some more trip species: Gray Catbird, Indigo Bunting, and a Tennessee Warbler.
