Prairie Warbler ♀

Higbee Beach National Wildlife Area

Cape May, NJ

 

To quote Tony Robbins, "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten."

 

Yesterday's Cape May revisit was a classic case-in-point, as it was mostly a cavalcade of familiar faces that I had been acquainted with just a few weeks earlier - only even less of them were present this time around. During that passage of time, I was secretly hoping for a few new faces to pop up, but it was mostly for naught.

 

I made it a point, however, to visit a few spots I hadn't before, like the labyrinthine dunes around Daveys Lake, where I ran into a prairie warbler couple. At this stage, I'd been sick of all of the male prairies I'd been inundated with, so having one of their wives pop out for a bit was a nice change of pace.

 

If last year was the Year of the Parula for me, this is undoubtedly shaping up to be the Year of the Prairie Warbler.
