Coming through California now, down from their summer homes in the boreal forests, Wilson's Warbler is a flash of yellow with a distinctive cap. Have you seen one yet? You can learn more about their migratory journey here: https://ow.ly/Y7sU50PG0qt

Small but spicy is the perfect way to describe the American Kestrel, North America’s littlest falcon. Where they lack in size, they make up for in feistiness! This juvenile needed a wash after accidentally flying into a local shop and contaminating her tail and primary feathers in the process. Experienced handlers at Bird Rescue’s San Francisco Bay-Delta Wildlife Center successfully cleaned her feathers, and she was returned to Napa Wildlife Rescue for continued care and eventual release!

Dragonflies are one of my favorite insects and I was able to snap a picture of this beauty yesterday. Did you know dragonflies eat mosquitos? They have excellent eyesight and catch their prey mid air! That is why I love having them in my yard!
