Prairie Warbler at Sands Road Park

We’ve had a great run of good weather lately. When I got to Sands Road, it was in the 70s and stayed that way for several hours. I experimented with some extreme closeups for a while (It’s difficult) then walked about halfway around the big field looking for birds, and found a few. I looked for bugs a while longer, then went to Wooton and did the same.
It was a decent day.

Blue Grosbeak

This Blue Grosbeak was a little distant, but he’s worth including.

I’ve only seen a few Prairie Warblers this year.

This is a very small pine cone that appealed to me.
