The Warblers are coming! The Warblers are coming!

Last evening I had Yellow-rumps all over the trees just past the hunting
blind in the last of the three ponds.  Also got a typical view of a
Virginia Rail (bill and butt :-D )...and heard the "Onk-a-chunk" an
American Bittern in the same location...could never locate him though.

Still getting some ducks passing through as well.
