Michael Reinhart photographed a beautiful...or, should I say, handsome...Wilson's Warbler. The black cap is the most prominent giveaway this is a male.

These small warblers nest on the Mendonoma Coast and to our north. They eat insects, usually found on leaves, though they will catch flies and other flying insects in the air. The numbers of these beautiful birds are in "steep decline," mostly due to habitat loss. The experts say the best thing you can do for them is to plant native plants in your garden.

To hear the sweet call of these birds, here is a link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Wilsons_Warbler/sounds

Thanks to Mike for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Dense fog this morning has cleared away to brilliant sunshine. Mild temps. Lots of visitors to the coast now!
