Little heads pop up
Expecting a tasty bug
Strong fledgling blue-birds.

The queen of the farm

Watches over her herd and

The makings of milk.

Big song from tree tops

Hard to find this small warbler

Prothonotary!

Art Prescription: Throughout our stay at Primland we kept hearing a distinct song in the tree-tops. Finally yesterday I got a view of this small warbler. It’s a guess, but

I think it’s a Prothonotary Warbler.
