Magnolia Warbler at Governor Bridge Natural Area

I was again undecided where to go, and didn’t really make a decision until I got in the truck. I decided to go back to Governor Bridge, and it worked out OK.
There were many warblers around, as well as other birds, and I flushed an American Bittern, but couldn’t get a picture.
