February 22, 2023

I am a Yellow-rumped Warbler
Its unusual to have black spots on my neck
I'm not sure what they are, they could be ticks
And due to the location, it's difficult to check
But I'm a perching bird who feeds on seeds,
So ticks are a logical suspect.

Location: Goodwin Wildlife Management Area, Broadmoor Unit, Fellsmere
