Yellow-throated Warbler
This morning I spent an hour before work at Central Winds Park.  Northern Parula are everywhere, as usual, but a Yellow-throated Warbler posed nicely for me, and for that I'm very grateful.  I also found a Black and White Warbler and a couple American Redstarts. The last two weeks of August have been so nice for migrants (I've found 11 warbler species so far) that I can't wait to see what September will bring.

Other highlights were a Great Egret perched nicely in a tree and a few early morning Wild Turkeys.

  1. That Great Egret was a nice guy for getting up into that tree to give himself a pretty green background for that shot. Did you tip him? I agree, after August being more active than normal, September should be exciting. You have a ton of nice warbler photos this spring and summer.

  2. Thanks, Bob. That Great Egret did charge me extra for the shot with the nice background. Some birds can just be so difficult at times...

  3. Hi Scott, I was also wondering how you persuaded the Great Egret to pose against such a convenient background. And they say you can't buy everything for money... ;)
