Not many birds, but a nice walk

Birding was a little slower today, as I would expect getting into mid-May. But, the cooler temperatures made being out in the woods incredibly enjoyable! Also, the mosquitoes were not as bad either. Even if there weren't a lot of birds, the walk was nice. I did add one for the year - a Canada Warbler. He was calling and I finally found him in some thick brush. Other than him, everything else was what I would expect around here.

There were several newly fledged birds flying around. I came upon a family of Carolina Wrens. The babies were following the parents begging for food. It was fun to watch them. Then I watched as a White-eyed Vireo fed a couple of babies well camouflaged in the thick brush. There were also young Cardinals, Blue Jays and Carolina Chickadees.
