Summer Bird Still Around

Last week, we walked around the wetland.  The flowers are mostly done.

 I saw a little bird wiggling in the bush, which turned out to be a female Common Yellowthroat just like last year.  They like to nest and feed in the bushes near water.

"We are still here and getting ready for south 

soon.  I need to fatten up for the long trip."

After several days, I stopped over again to see if they were still around.  To my delight, I now saw a young male Common Yellowthroat.

"I am immature.  So I do not have the striking black mask yet."
