Black and White Warbler at Governor Bridge Natural Area

It looked like another hot, humid and cloudy day, but I headed out early anyway in hopes of finding some migrants. The light was better than I had hoped, and a fellow birder spotted a Yellow Warbler in addition to the Black and White.
Nice variety today.
