Barrington, Illinois – Crabtree Nature Center
My fiancee and I walked out on a trail through a large prairie. We stopped near a small grove of trees along a small brook. The Yellowthroat was singing in the top of a small, dead tree. I walked off the trail to get a better look while my fiancee sat on a bench in the shade.
