Jenks

Went to Jenks for the first time in a while.  Not much, but I did find a male/female pair of indigos chirping at each other.  I don't see the females too often, so we'll call it a successful morning. 

I think the following picture better shows the female's wingbar.

Yellow Throated Vireo

Hit Assabet with Gui on Friday.  Plenty of birds, highlight was the yellow throated vireo.  Certainly, it was the best look I've ever had of one.

We also saw a prairie warbler near the "drop zone"

Veery

I got a good close-up look at a veery this morning.  The bird makes a great sound, thrush like metallic with its own echo.  

Captain Sargent

Mostly catbirds and red-winged blackbirds but did get good looks at two yellow warblers and heard another couple.

Also, when I pulled into the parking lot, there were two large male deer.

Fourth of July at Assabet

 Another good day at Assabet.  I finally found a couple of the prairie warblers that I was told about.  They were at the meadow section.

Plus, I had good looks at a couple of black and whites.

And of course there were indigos and towhees and the other usual suspects.
