Connecticut warbler, Rondeau Provincial Park, May 29, 2023. Followed up on a Discord post and found the bird. It was signing loudly near the roadside. Took a while to find the bird perched up about 2 meters. A rare find and any photo is a good photo of this sulky bird. Thanks Steve . Oporornis agilis. The Connecticut Warbler is an infamously hard-to-find bird that forages on the ground in remote muskeg, spruce bogs, and poplar forests. Simply plumaged, with a gray hood, yellow belly, and olive back, the Connecticut Warbler has a large bill and a large pale eyering—often the first field mark that stands out. Although males sing from trees, this species forages by walking slowly through underbrush, where it is difficult to see. Probably owing to its retiring habits and remote habitats, Connecticut is among the least studied of American songbirds. source- allaboutbirds.org

That is a good one. Sorry I wasn't able to come to Aullwood. I have been all sorts of busy, and away. It would have been nice to see you and the lovely Mrs. Ric. Julie must know what that water beetle is. I never saw one like that!
Word verification: yermske. She got sick because she caught some yermske.

I'll send Julie the photo to get a positive id;-)
Sounds like a nasty disease, yermske..
