Last weekend several friends of mine went camping at Port Burwell Provincial Park. It was a really great time but unfortunately we got caught in quite a few rainstorms. Starting friday night at around midnight it poured for hours. Luckily it let up by morning and we headed down to the beach where I caught the photo of Mike above. The rain started again, we had some lunch and Tori had the great idea for the photograph below.
Later on that day I found a Yellow Warbler nest with 4 eggs in it. There are actually only 3 Warbler eggs in the nest, the largest egg belongs to the Cowbird. Cowbirds do not make their own nests, instead they lay their eggs in other birds' nests. Once hatched the much larger Cowbird can actually outcompete and kill the other birds in the nest. So after discovering this nest Tori quickly disposed of the cowbird egg and the next day the Warbler actually laid a fourth egg.
