Today on BirdingPI.com, birds at or near outer Gull Point the other weekend at Presque Isle State Park, featuring Northern Yellow Warbler and Eastern Kingbird:
The Eastern Kingbirds were very active @ flycatching behavior, taking advantage of the convenient perches afforded by Common Mullein (Verbascum thapsus):
Loved the cartoons!
Excellent essay of birds at and on mullen! Loved the yellow warbler!
Conditions were cloudy/hazy/light overcast – not the best lighting at all. But lots of nice bird activity, and everyone loves perching on the mullein! (They spray it sometimes – invasive weed – but it doesn’t seem to do much good.)
