It was more like Summer than Spring this morning. I had arranged to meet Emily ay Governor Bridge, and I arrived about 6:30. There was very little to see until we went up to the lake, where a few birds showed up. The caretakers were mowing. so I went looking for bugs a little sooner than I’d planned.
An afternoon trip to Quiet Waters gave me a chance to try out my new flash.

This Common Yellowthroat was one of the few birds in the lower field.

My first good Eastern Kingbird of the season.

I would have liked for this Scarlet Tanager to be closer.

Emily, scanning for birds.

Prothonotary Warblers are nesting at the big lake.

Orchard Orioles are also nesting at the lake.

Today’s bugs.
