Common Yellowthroat (panting).
Fourth of July dawned clear and rather balmy—and warmed up from there. Very soon I encountered, in the shade, a brand new Chestnut-sided Warbler fledgling. And adults of other species clearly looking out for their own offspring. Notable were Red-breasted Nuthatch, Great Crested flycatcher, and a Common Yellowthroat panting like a crow.

Fourth of July 2018 was a scorcher.
