So after searching around for Warblers..(which I heard is quite productive this time of year) I basically came up empty handed.
No surprise to me, as this is my luck lately.
With my head hung down, and the rain beginning to match my mood, I started on my way back to my car.
Then who should I see, but my local friend who decided I could not leave the park empty handed.
He decided to land 15 feet away from me and allow me to take a few shots before he was scared off by another unsuspecting birder who couldn't figure out I was photographing something when I was kneeling down in some pretty think mud and aiming my camera into the forest.
Oh well, I usually can find this bird when I go to the area, so there is always next time.
But I am happy that I found something, even though it was not what I was wandering around in the rain looking for.
