I haven’t been to Oak Hammock Marsh for awhile, so today was the day for a return trip. I left early and was there before any other cars were in the parking lot. As a result I did not see anyone at all, but I did find some birds and a Muskrat.

  • The early morning sun through smoke from forest fires
  • Purple Martin
  • Killdeer and what might be a young Yellow-headed Blackbird
  • Lesser Yellowlegs
  • Killdeer
  • Canada Goose
  • Canada Geese in front of bird hide
  • Beaver
  • Peek-a-boo – I see you
  • Looking back towards entrance building
  • “should I hop away?”
  • Eastern Kingbird
  • Red-winged Blackbird Tree
  • Closer view of some of the Red-winged Blackbirds
  • Next 2 photos are of this spring
  • Always ready to move quickly
  • Black Terns
  • I didn’t realize the marsh was artificially managed
  • Wilsons Snipe
  • Hide & Seek
  • Gorgeous field of Sunflowers

I was glad I headed out there early before the heat took over the day. It has been very hot and since there are a lot of forest fires, there is also a lot of smoke in the air. It belt good to get back in my apartment with my air conditioning keeping the temperature under control.
