Delta Lakes

My knee was paying the price for an upright day so we sat around until we were stir crazy and decided to drive up to Delta Lakes for a little car birding. Frankly, it was a bust. Both lakes were very high, taking away the shoreline and all of the potential bird action. We drove around the picnic park, hoping for a glimpse of Curlews. None. We didn't see much, only the two most common Warblers in Texas, maybe in North America. Nice day though - sunny with temperatures in the mid 70s. Can't complain.

"What is that little bird with the yellow-rump?" "It's a Yellow-rumped Warbler." "Who's on first?" "What kind of butterfly is that little yellow one?"  "It's a Little Yellow." "Yeah, it know it's a little yellow butterfly, but what kind is it?" "It's a Little Yellow."
