I headed out today for a bit of birding and to check out the
condition of some of the local wetlands. We've been needing rain for
a while now and even though we've had some pretty good storms some of
the marshes are still low on water and vegetation is filling in the
dryer spots. 

I only saw a couple of Turkey Vultures floating overhead and a group
of Barn Swallows on some telephone lines. Also saw lots of
dragonflies out over the cornfields. The hotter winds out of the
south will probably slow down migrants for a few days but things
might pick up again by early next week. This should give birds some
time to build up those fat reserves.

I've added some more warbler photos at:
