I was in the Betty Davis Picnic Area with @touchgrassbirding this past weekend, spotting all the warblers, woodpeckers and herons we’ve got hanging out by the river path! I do not have a birding lens for my camera, so you’ll just have to trust me that we saw a lot of wild and wonderful birds, but I did have my macro lens on me and I saw plenty of cool little bugs hanging out in the early morning sun!
