Evening on Bell's Lane

I haven't spent much time outdoors lately, but I did take a quick walk along Bell's Lane this evening, and saw a fair number of birds:

• E. towhees (M, F)
• Green heron
• Indigo bunting (M)
• E. kingbirds
• Tree swallow
• Kestrel
• Brown thrasher
• Downy woodpecker
• Red-bellied woodpecker

Plus the usuals. I also heard a Yellow warbler singing, as well as a Willow flycatcher. It has been unseasonably cool for the past week, and I wonder if that may be having an effect on the size of bird broods.

My brother John just sent me this Yellow warbler photo. Doesn't that worm look good?
