Blue Winged Teal at Wooton’s Landing.

With the beginning of migration, it seemed like a good idea to try Wooton this morning. It’s been good in the past, and was good enough this morning.

I was pleased to find a few ducks, but the only warbler was the very common Yellow Rump. Others are seeing warblers, though, so it won’t be long.
