Hi All— On Friday, Erika and I heard and eventually saw the Hooded Warbler that hangs out behind the visitor’s center at Afton State Park. I looked for it near the ground, which was a mistake—the bird sang from the mid-level of the forest. Despite poor light, the distance of the singer, and the bird’s being back-lit, I was able to take a photograph (although far from the greatest ever taken of the species).
