#More_Marsh

More birds, etc. from last Saturday at Conneaut Marsh, south/southwest of Conneaut Lake in Crawford County, Pennsylvania. Here’s another view of McMichael Rd bisecting the marsh; Prothonotary Warbler nests (see previous post) are on the right and left along the waterways:

This post, however, features an amazing sighting of one or two Yellow-throated Vireo, also seen by the road just as the rain moved in:
