Down at the water's surface, a turtle does a little yoga on a log.
On the other snag, a White Ibis relaxes and preened.
A slow walk around the boardwalk produced the Northern Waterthrush that has been hanging out for a while.
Just as the Waterthrush flew off, a female Common Yellowthroat emerged from the opposite side and hunted around in front of us. This is the first sighting of a Yellowthroat here for the season. Migration continues to pick up.
Back in the butterfly garden we finally heard the flock of Titmice. Not much else was traveling with them today.
I headed back to the van and when we rounded the corner behind the amphitheater the pond-side White Ibis was now perched over the stream. Love those baby blue eyes.
Nice to see a few more warblers this morning. Shouldn't be long before the next wave of migrants arrives.

I enjoyed your walk around Mead Garden!
Looks like the migrants are slowly starting to trickle into our area.
Now, if we could just get a little breeze to go with the humidity!
Just found your blog and look forward to reviewing older posts and anticipating new ones.
Stay cool -- Wally, Lakeland, FL
Thanks, Wally. Still a couple more posts to catch up on and then the real migration begins!
