- Comments: "Flagged for rare/date: an expected migrant but never abundant and often more difficult to detect in the fall. Picked it up on the S side of Breeze Hill by its chip (sorta like Northern Waterthrush but not as loud), and soon got eyes on a female/immature skulking around: a yellow warbler moving around on the ground with a white undertail and a very faint hood. It also occasionally flicked its tail and revealed its white outer tail feathers. Very difficult conditions for photos and the bird did not want to come out but I think I managed one that’s identifiable."





Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm. Philosophies fall away like sand, creeds follow one another, but what is beautiful is a joy for all seasons, a possession for all eternity.
