Brown Thrasher at Wooton Wetlands Preserve

The weather was better than predicted, but became hot and humid quickly. It was a disappointing day, but I still got a few nice images. Where are the migrating warblers?
This afternoon I toured the ‘hood looking for insects and found a few that I will try to ID later.
