Doing their best

On 16 August 2015, I went with a group of friends to look for Warblers and several species were seen by at least some of the group. Group size was much too large even after splitting in half, but I think everyone was so thankful that it wasn't raining, unlike the previous day of heavy rain, that they came out to enjoy the sunshine. I enjoyed seeing a Merlin, a number of Double-crested Cormorants, and several Pelicans that flew overhead. Without binoculars, I didn't really see any of the Warblers, except for a quick glimpse of one Yellow-rumped Warbler.

As you can see from this photo, my eyes were not always looking upwards : ) Despite the fact that this little cluster of fungi was rather misshapen, I was still happy to at least see some kind of fungus. These were growing on a fallen log near the edge of the path.
