Northern Flicker at Quiet Waters Park

We’re finally getting some Spring weather. A few warblers have been reported, but the buds and insects aren’t in full evidence, so I decided to try Quiet Waters.
It was really a bit slow, but I found a few birds and a couple of bugs to get the season started.

Carolina Wren

Quiet Waters is a good place to find Bluebirds.
