I decided to go someplace new today to get out of the house and play with the new camera. So I headed off for the Plainsboro Preserve in southern Middlesex County. I still have a lot to learn about all the controls on the camera, and dropping the tripod ballhead on the trail didn’t help. But there was still a lot to do and see.
There were yellow-rumped warblers by the dozens all over the preserve.

There was also a young and very sweet white-tailed doe.
