Wood thrush

What is that? I have one like it coming to the feeder and do not what it is, never saw anything like it.
It likes to hop low into the wood-line and then back and forth but it's hard to get a real good look at.

Sounds like what a Brown Thrasher would do...

As posted above, Brown Thrasher... but I can see where you'd get that from the inconvenient angle

Thanks!

Thanks!

No worries...

For the record, I'm expecting Wood Thrushes to show up in the area any day now.

Out walking at Patuxent WRR South Tract yesterday, found these guys sunning. I'm a Herp Derp, but I think it's both Northern and Brown water snakes??

I don't think browns are around here. probably just a mud covered Northern Water Snake.

LOL, was a BUNCH out Wednesday.
Walked a pond fishing, turtles and water snakes everywhere.

As far as a Herp Derp, I wanted to be Carl Kauffield when I was a kid. Hell, who am I kidding? I STILL want to be him!

After some checking this morning, I have to agree.

Unusual sighting today near Tipton Airfield/Ft. Meade...

A pair of Rough Legged Hawks circling, riding the breeze to the NE.

They are not regular in this area, and this is the first time I've seen 2 at once in MD.

 

[Mr H]

We'll be heading to Conowingo tomorrow... hoping for some real goodies.

Found this guy working in the garden today, put him in an area that I wasn’t going to be tilling. About an 18” Garter snake
