As mentioned in the previous post, we visited the Lava Lands Visitor Center in the Newberry National Volcanic Monument and walked the Trail of the Molten Land trail. Back and the visitor center, there are trails in the trees and we could hear birds all around. I got just a few photos, including this one of a yellow-rumped warbler (Setophaga coronata), which is pretty good. We saw these quite a few times on our trip, so I have to assume they are quite common. Although they are, apparently, in our area on the east coast, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before. So, that’s fun.
After this we drove up the cinder cone (Lava Butte) and enjoyed the view from the top, which was also worth the effort (especially since we were able to drive up so the effort wasn’t all that great).
