This morning I saw a Green Heron on the southern part of Rice's Pond. The other thing I saw that I had never seen before was a Yellow Warbler feediing insects to a fledgling Red-winged Blackbird. I asked Ken Pals about this and he said this was not unusual. I look at it as an example of compassion in the natural world, cross species compassion. Ken says that it is an instinct that when a bird sees an open mouth he or she will feed it. The Yellow Warbler in this photo is probably a female.
