Well, it’s my birthday and I treated myself to an easy trip to Lake Artemesia. The mergansers were a surprise-they look young and it makes me wonder if they were born around here.

I tracked down the Yellow Warbler’s nest, but the orioles remain elusive;easy to hear, hard to spot.

Lake Artemesia.

I’ve seen the Green Heron in this tree several times.

This Yellow Warbler was making many trips to feed his babies.

This Robin posed nicely.

It was a Wood Duck kind of day.

These Red Breasted Merganser appear to be juveniles.
