A "Birdy" Day...

We didn't leave the campground today. We spent a good chunk of time trying to plot our remaining travels in New England. Any of the campgrounds near the coast are all very expensive. We've been looking through those campgrounds affiliated with our memberships to see what we could find that would not bankrupt us!

There are quite a few birds here at Frosty Acres. We came across this Killdeer taking its morning bath. It was playing in the water, getting itself wet all over. I tried to get a picture of it when it came out when it was fluffing its feathers, but it was just moving too fast. Members of the Plover family, we have seen Killdeers in many parts of the country. I am sure that the ones close to Auntie Violet must have nests nearby as they are really into their "broken wing" act trying to lure trespassers away.

We have spotted this Baltimore Oriole flitting in and out of the trees the past couple of days. This morning in perched enough in the open for me to get a picture of it. It, too, had been bathing in the ditch on the other side of the road.

It flew into the tree and was fluffing its feathers following its dip --

We'll have to keep watching it to see if we can spot its nest, which should be a woven pouch hanging in the trees.
