Mink Brook Preserve May 3, 2015

The trail along Mink Brook west of Rt 10 was very quiet.  Only a few birds and ducks. But I found a pocket of yellow-rumped warblers — perhaps as many as two dozen — and a few ruby-throated kinglets along the Quinn Trail to the east. But the star of the show was a beautiful palm warbler.

Even a beaver swam by.

Here is a slide show with a few more photos from along Mink Brook Sunday morning.

Meanwhile in my Etna yard, a white-throated sparrow scratched for food, several pair of purple finch have been around for days, and a yellow-rumped warbler made a brief appearance. And lots of juncos kept the chickadees company. Here are a few photos from my yard.
