What I thought was going to be a little stroll to get out of the house and take a break from grading, turned out to be a very productive hike. I decided to go over to Nonnewaug High School and see what I can find - but I also brought my camera in case I did see something.

| Common Mergansers |

| Mallards |
My stroll started with a Robin and two male Cardinals. I did not see anything else until I got down by the River that runs near the sports
fields. That's where/when I saw a male and female Common Merganser
swimming back and forth in the River. I also saw a male and female Mallard swimming in the same River a little further up stream from the Mergs.
It was along the River that a bird caught my eye. I saw it flying
around into a bush and caught the sight of yellow on the bird's breast
which quickly made me think - warbler! And sure enough, the bird
stopped long enough from its activities to let me see that it was a Palm
Warbler and allow me to take a few shots of it. And it is a new bird
for my Big Year!
