One
of the most common birds to be heard singing at the State Park in the summer is
the Common Yellow - throat. But as common as it is to hear them, often you can
walk the whole trail and never see one. Not so today, however. Today there were
two obliging Common Yellowthroats that sat up and sang while we watched in the
scope. There were also a lot of dragonflies patrolling the boardwalk
trails, including numerous Wandering gliders. Wandering gliders are the most
abundant dragonfly on earth and have been found on every contingent except
Antarctica.
