From the recent visit to the farthest bog where the beavers swim we caught this warbler, or something else, on the trail.
Over by the bog near the beaver’s den we found this grackle-we-think. The bird is wandering along the trail now covered by water backed up by beaver damming.
This is one of our regulars. Most likely a male hairy woodpecker based on a the red crown and beak, but we have seen downy woodpeckers here also.

We had a good week for birding close to home. Robins have finally arrived to look for food in the backyard.
Last week, when we approached the bog where the beavers have set up, we spotted this scene on the other side of the trail.
