Prairie Warbler at Terrapin Nature Park.

We had a nice blood red sun this morning, along with a few clouds that made for a more interesting sunrise. A couple of shore birds strolled by as well.

I found four warblers and a few bugs at Terrapin, but the wading birds were all elsewhere. The water is high in the ponds, and I think that’s the reason.
