Chestnut-sided Warbler Goes Into The Lake

On Saturday morning along the lower lobe, a Chestnut-sided Warbler flew into the duck weed that was covering the surface of the Lake.  The bird may have been confused by the color and thought it was landing on solid ground.  It tried to get out of the water by climbing up on to a stick in the water without success.  The warbler eventually ended up slowly paddling to the shore and safety.
