Chestnut Sided Warbler at Governor Bridge Natural Area

Much better weather than yesterday. It was a little cool, but warmed rapidly, and the birds responded accordingly.
There was a lot of activity early, and I suspect I missed some good warblers, but that’s the name of the game some days. Many were distant and hard to photograph, but I’ll take a lot of birds over a few any day.
Later, Graeme showed me some more about photographing insects.
