Rather late in the morning but I took a stroll around Palmeter Woods 
today. Lots of birds in song but the foliage has now progressed to 
the stage where it is mighty difficult to see and/or photograph small birds.

- 1 Eastern Pine Elfin (usually find one or two in these woods each 
spring ...this one a little bleached).
- 1 Painted Trillium
- a family of Canada Geese on the Seven Bridges pond. At least the 
3rd summer they raised a brood there.
- lots of Yellowjackets (wasps closely related to Bald-faced 
Hornets). Found one in our house which was so sluggish I was able to 
pick it up and deposit it outside. The several species are quite 
similar but I did not examine any closely.
- mosquitoes not a problem so a pleasant walk. Later on in June one 
must lather on the dope if you hope to survive!!
- 1 R/E Vireo (1st of spring for me). No Canada Warbler yet.

Some of these and others can be viewed here:
