From Elyse:
Hi Peter,
When I was looking for the wood duck today at the bridge near the lilly pond, I saw a bird land in a nearby tree.
It was a Yellow-rumped Warbler, my first warbler this season. It looked so bright!
Then I heard a red bellied woodpecker, and saw it climbing up a tree. Then a little bird flew right near me. It was a carolina wren, and I got a good look at it.A titmouse flew right near the wren. I didn't see the wood duck, but I was happy.
happy birding,
Elyse
