Morning Walk



These photos are actually from yesterday's walk. We drove out of town a short way to walk somewhere other than our usual route around our little lake. 



Parks Dept has been doing some clearing in this area. I wonder what they plan on planting instead of the tall grass that was here before.


We heard lots of birds singing but only managed to spot a couple. The Warblers especially, are so flitty it's almost impossible to get a decent picture. So these pics are off the internet.

The Common Yellowthroat is easily identifiied by his black mask and Wichity-wichity-wichity song.




The Yellow-Rumped Warbler is also easy to ID because of his various yellow spots.


After having such a warm sunny day yesterday today it is cloudy but still fairly nice. I've been outside puttering about, now I'm baking and later hope to hit a garage sale that I didn't realize was happening or I would have gone before I started baking. Hope I find some treasures.


Thanks for popping by,

  6. We enjoyed our sunny Friday and spent much of it working in the yard.
    The little warblers are so cute. We have the Townsend's warbler here.
