Yellow Warblers
I think the Marsh Wren is one of my favorite residents of the refuge. These small birds have an interesting, complicated song. These acrobatic birds are quick and a challenge to photograph.


While my attention was focused on trying to help identify birds, various subjects caught my eye.

Based upon the look on his face I would not mess with this Red Winged Blackbird

While birds caught most of my photographic attention, a few other sights caught my attention.
