Common Yellowthroat Singing From a Compass PlantCommon Yellowthroat Singing From a Compass PlantThe prairie is full of these tall compass plants sticking up through the sea of perennials. They have beautiful yellow blooms and as a photographer I always dream of what colorful bird might be perched on top singing. On this particular July evening, the common yellowthroat was belting out a tune. I had to look carefully as it blended in so well with the yellow blooms in the early evening light. Their songs are one of the first I hear this time of year along the trails as I'm learning to recognize more bird calls.
