 Common Yellowthroat. Temps in the 60s (F) first thing, but quickly rising higher. Humid and buggy, but too warm for a lots bird action. Anyway, resident nesters are starting to settle in, and the number of through-migrants are thinning fast. Still, I got a nice photo of a joyful Common Yellowthroat.
Ah, June, June.

 Ovenbird. I have a thing for Ovenbirds. They’re so dependable, for one thing—arriving each year right on time, hollering “Teacher, Teacher, TEACHER!” from their perches about thirty feet up into the canopy. They have what I call a “branch walk” behavior when suspicious. They chase each other around in the woods.
The song of the Ovenbird is my ringtone. That should tell you something.
