Birded some of my favorite warbler areas in Horicon Marsh today. Nobody
new in evidence, at least while I was there but did get a rare treat
from the many American Redstarts along Northern Road. I was able to
watch a hen gathering insects and feeding them to her brood in a nearby
tree. Couldn't actually see the babies, but could see the feeding
action. Here are some documentary quality photos - I was not about to
take any chances with disturbing Mom or the nest. Lots of fun to watch -
she's a tireless worker and was flitting about the bushes and trees
remarkably quickly - though that made getting any kind of photo of her a
real trial.
