Catching up, part I

Well I've been without a computer for a week so haven't had a chance to update this very often.

I've made 2 attempts to try to photograph yellow-throated warbler before the leaves come out, but haven't accomplished much. The first time I was at Forest Lawn this male wood duck was squealing prominently:
The object of his desires was fairly attentive.

Marsh marigolds are peaking in the wet areas (of which Forest Lawn certainly counts)...

Spring beauties are also coming out, I think I'll need better equipment to really capture the almost waxy quality of the petals.

Here was my first of the year purple martin, perched up on the boxes at 3 Oaks.

Stay tuned for lousy cattle egret pics...
