Geothlypis trichas

We walked around Discovery Lake in San Marcos, California last week (this entry posted on 3/25/2010), while on vacation to visit family there. We saw quite a few birds there that we do not see at home in the Los Alamos area. This Common Yellowthroat is a very strikingly colored bird, and was sitting on the corner of a pier overlooking the water. This is definitely a place we want to come back to on a later visit.
