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.
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.
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... ;)

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