Mead Gardens, 9/19/2016

Cape May Warbler Last week I drove out to Mead Gardens, hoping to see a Wilson's Warbler that had been photographed there the day before.  Unfortunately, it either moved on or hid from me the whole time I was there, but that's to be expected. Thankfully, a few days later another Wilson's Warbler showed up at Central Winds Park right near my home and I got to see that one.  I had two consolation prizes at Mead, though.  First, and beautiful Cape May Warbler was extremely cooperative with me,  posing for pictures and everything. Yellow-bellied Flycatcher And second, I was able to get my first presentable photos of a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher that had been hanging out here for the last couple days. I've only seen three of these in Florida, and they've always been pretty difficult for me to photograph.  But this one flew very close to me.  These photos could certainly be improved with better light and background, but at the very least, they are photos...

Cape May Warbler Cape May Warblers are always a special treat to see.  I find them in Mead Gardens, Lake Lotus Park, and Central Winds Park during migration. The last photo below is of a fall female at Lake Lotus - the bird seems to be having a "bad hair" day. Cape May Warbler Cape May Warbler Cape May Warbler Cape May Warbler
