This posts photos were all taken in one spot. It was an amazing weekend with the birds coming to me for once. I stayed for hours each day, giving way for new-to-me species every day!
Great-crested Flycatcher-First ever!
Yellow-rumped Warbler-There had to be hundreds...
Hooded Warbler-First ever!
Palm Warbler- Notice the pavement. There were a flock of Palms and Yellow-rumps all over the road at my secret location.
Yellow-throated Warbler-First ever!
Louisiana Waterthrush-First ever!
Female Yellow-rumped Warbler
Black and White Warbler
Gray Catbird-FOY
Snapping Turtle-Just plain cool!
Another warbler I did not include in this post is the Prothonotary Warbler which was a complete thrill! I have so many photos that I am proud of, that I am saving it for tomorrow's post.
Birds I saw, but did not photo: Balt. Oriole, Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks, Indigo Bunting, Kinglet.
Hannibal I can't believe the variety you caught and your shots are wonderful. Wouldn't it be great if everyday could be like this.
ReplyDeleteWow, if I lived closer I would be stalking you and your secret location, LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful variety and so many of these would have been lifers for me as well. Loved the photos and looking forward to seeing what you show us tomorrow.
That was some birding day you had. They should be up to me in a few days. Most of them I've never seen, so hoping for some new ones myself.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing series of pictures.Some of these birds are very new for me as well.
