Northern Parula and More at Wooton’s Landing

Summer photography is sometimes gruelingly uncomfortable, but today was ideal. Temps in the 70s, low humidity and clear skies.
I stared at Sands Road Park, where I found some nice bugs and a few birds (Close enough for my 300mm lens), then I went to Wooton where the cooperation continued.

“Caterpillar
Brown and furry
Caterpillar in a hurry,
Take your walk
To the shady leaf, or stalk,
Or what not,
Which may be the chosen spot.
No toad spy you,
Hovering bird of prey pass by you;
Spin and die,
To live again a butterfly.”

I have no idea what these are, but they're nice to look at.

I’ll be spending more time trying to get flight shots of the Ruby Throated Hummingbird.

I was lucky to have this Northern Parula foraging quite close overhead.
