Parula nest photos June 22

 the day of the hatch, June 22,

 She still did a good deal of brooding

 She would come out for a bath

 the nest is within site of the bird bath

she would wash

 preen

 and repeat, often taking another dip after vigorus preen/shakeout

 She begins to deliver feed.

 time to eat

 another bath, cleaning her rapier

feeding in the morning fog of June 23

the male likes to bath too but besides singing and zone defense he has made contribution on the home front, I have seen none.
