Yellow Warbler at Lake Artemesia.

Posted on by

I didn’t decide where to go this morning until I got in the car. I was thinking about repeating yesterday’s outing, but the lake was calling. I made the right call, for a change.

Wood Ducks are still escorting their chicks, Orioles are still elusive and the weather is holding well.

I found this Yellow Warbler’s nest, but it’s deep in a bush and good images aren’t possible.
