First Yellow-rumped Warblers - 22 Sep 2024
A pair of Cooper's Hawks were in the oak trees in the field but wouldn't show themselves for photos. A pair of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds were buzzing above my head but disappeared near the Jewelweed patch.

I then headed over to the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge and walked the Humbug Marsh Unit. Reports of warblers yesterday had me wondering if they were still around. They weren't.
I did see a small flock of six Yellow-rumped Warblers (all juveniles) working the trees next to the trail as I was leaving, but they were too backlit for photos. Still, first ones of the year!
