Nesting time
I had my first sighting of a Yellow-rumped warbler yesterday afternoon at the marsh. I wasn't able to get a shot of it, however, although I made an attempt.
This song sparrow which I saw this morning was the first time this spring I have noticed a bird carrying nesting material. The marsh is favored breeding habitat for song sparrows. Her first nest may be on the ground under a grassy tuft; subsequent ones (they could have three broods in a season) would be in low shrubby growth.
