I spent yesterday in Cape May for the first full day of birding/photography which I have had in many months. Yesterday was the day when the migrants arrived in Cape May, and it was a great day for the many birders flocking to Cape May for the World Series of Birding and the Cape May Spring Bird Festival.
Warblers - those coveted little bundles of color and energy - were everywhere, and my camera was busy. The breath-taking male Magnolia Warbler continued to play hard to get, and others like the Chestnut-sided, Blackburnian, Blackpoll, and Prairie were also elusive. But many others were at least semi-cooperative. Choosing photos has been tough ... here are a few:
Northern Waterthrush (along Wissahickon Creek, Philadelphia) |
American Redstart - first year male |
Common Yellowthroat - male |
Yellow-breasted Chat - male |
Yellow Warbler - female |
Yellow-rumped Warbler - female |
Northern Parula - female |
Black-and-White Warbler - male |
Black-throated Green Warbler - female |
Black-throated Blue Warbler - male |
Good Birding!
