Prairie Warbler at Wooton Wetlands Park.

I had signed up for a walk at Swan Creek this morning, but my alarm failed me, so I went back to Wooton. Swan Creek might have had different birds, but I did well anyway.
My best Prairie Warbler to date, as well as a lovely Black Racer and a Towhee made for a great day. My friend Finbarr accompanied me most of the way and pointed out birds I might have missed otherwise.
