Pieces of the Sun

I am fortunate that I do not have to wait for the weekend to get out birding, because this weekend is a dreary one. I saved some pieces of the sun from Friday for just such a gray time.


Photos are of several different male Yellow Warblers, all protecting their territory against each other and the likes of me - scolding me for intruding, then quickly distracted by their mate - or intruding neighbor - and flying in pursuit. (from the access road to the transmission towers at the Hinsdale setbacks)

Good birding!
