Looking for better weather...



Weather-wise, it's been a pretty dismal week...gray skies, windy and rainy most of the time. There were a few breaks for the sun's rays to illuminate birds, but unfortunately I wasn't able to seize those opportunities for photography - it seemed like I was always on the wrong side of an office window. On Wednesday, I checked the northern parcel of Pheasant Branch and found a huge influx of White-crowned Sparrows...they're such smart looking birds. Later on, I was surprised to find a Black-and-white Warbler along the stream corridor trail. The forecast for tomorrow calls for sunshine, so I hope to get a chance to get out there and enjoy it.

Nice shot as always, Mike. Looks like we could play the subspecies game here. Leucophrys in the foreground with gambelii in the background?
