The warblers were very obliging yesterday at Magee Marsh in Ohio!

Cape May Warbler (a little dark, but I like it):

Black-throated Green Warbler:

Plus some non-warblers:

1. Wow, I can just hear these guys singing.

That must have been a real treat. Your non-warbler looks like a fly catcher of some sort. And how fabulous you caught an owl! Great pics!

4. Oh yeah, I recognise the shape now

But I've never seen that iridescent blue before.

2. An OWL

Wow, all these great songbirds, and then an owl. Very nice. I'm rather partial to owls because we actually had one living by our patio when I was growing up. I can still hear it in my mind.

I'm really glad you named all the birds. Thank you for that! I think it is so much fun to capture birds on camera, and a real challenge.

7. So envious

I do not get to see many warblers. Tree swallows I never get to see and owls are also difficult to find. Good work and birding.
