Potpourri

Today’s post features a couple more finds during my last kayak outing.

A squirrel that crouched low and “hid” from me while I kayaked under a large limb of a dead tree in the water:

And a Common Yellowthroat warbler (Geothlypis trichas) that was foraging among the many sticks of the beaver lodge:

I’ve been looking for the Common Yellowthroats for the last couple of weeks, but just now beginning to see them. They are difficult to spot, let alone photograph. They are very small and tend to stay very low in the foliage as they forage for insects.
