Hollo Road Pond ~ August 26, 2023

In the early afternoon, I looked out the window and spotted this immature Cooper's Hawk perched on the fence watching for prey.

I drove over to the Hollo Road pond where an extremely early female Gadwall had been reported but, instead, found a female Green-winged Teal. Notice how the speculum colors on the wings change depending on the angle from blue and purple to the actual greenish color.

I was surprised to see a Prairie Warbler in a tree along the edge of the pond. I got these photos of it before it disappeared into the brush.
