Three Warblers
I photographed these three warblers yesterday morning along a new location ventured, the scenic (dirt) Loop Road in Big Cypress National Preserve. The best part? One is another new bird for me. 😊
Welcome #201, the Black-and-white Warbler.

My other two warblers aren’t newbies but both were a delight to hear and see.
A single Prairie Warbler; whew, I got lucky with just one good photo.

Getting to experience again a flock of Northern Parulas moving high through a tree canopy, foraging and singing beautifully, was pretty awesome. Again, I got lucky as warblers do not stay still!

Warblers are a delight!
And so wasn’t the Loop Road that had many more wonderful photo opportunities. 🙂
Great pics again Donna! 😁
Thank you, Mike! It is truly a birder’s paradise here in Florida. 🙂
Wonderful photos Donna
Thank you, Sheree!
Lovely photos ✨
Thank you!
Awesome bird images, Donna!
Thank you, Indira!
No holding you now, aim for 250! Three lovely birds.
Whew, 250 seems so far away! lol I’ll keep on, keeping on! Thank you, Brian!
Great photos!
Thank you!
How exciting! Both the Prarie and Black and White would be lifers for me. WOW! What a season you’re having, Donna!
Thank you, Deborah! I saw the Prairie out mid-west a few years ago, it’s only here in Florida for the winter. How cool! It has been an awesome and different winter for me for sure. 🙂
That prairie warbler is pretty. Nice to see their bright colours.
Thank you, Jane, that flash of bright yellow caught my eye for sure!
Terrific photos, Donna. I see that you’re really in the right places at the right times. I love it! 🙂 👍
Thank you, HJ! A birder’s paradise for sure down in southwest Florida! 😊
Beautiful Prarier Warbler shot! It is nice to see some shots of beauty rather than news of dread! William
Thank you, William! Yes, so true!! 🙂
That’s a great day 😀😀
It was only the beginning…. 😊
Beautiful
Thank you!
My pleasure
Great captures, Donna. These guys are quick. I can’t wait to hear them singing in my neck of the woods.
Thank you, Eliza! I’ll tell them to get on home real soon! 🙂
The first warbler reminds me of a nuthatch 😊. All terrific photos , Donna!
Thank you, Belinda! I first thought the B&W was a nuthatch too when I spotted it. 🙂
Beautiful captures Donna, especially the Praitie Warbler a stunning little guy! That loop walk is quite a blessing. Interesting how we find little enclaves of forest where birds are in largest number, especially near a flowing stream. We only have endemic two warblers the Australian Reed Warbler and the Speckled Warbler. We have whistlers mainly that are very vocal in spring/summer. Our main beautiful warbling song comes from our amazing Magpies, and when they do it in chorus together it is called caroling. Have a good week my friend and stay safe!
Thank you, Ashley! The Loop is actually a 10-12 wide dirt road almost 40 miles long, meandering through the Big Cypress National Preserve and the Everglades National Park. I drove it for about five miles then turned around since it was getting to be noon already. Maybe some day I’ll drive much further, with someone with me. 🙂 Enjoy your week too, be safe!
Good for you, Donna, for having seen AND photographed them. No warblers in Colorado yet, but I hope we will get to see some in another month, or so.
Best wishes,
Tanja
Thank you, Tanja! I was quite delighted to find three in one morning. I’ll put the word out to them to stop by your place in a month! 🙂
I like that plan, Donna. Thank you kindly. 🙂
Oh, how cute they are. Love the one you captured that is upside down.
Is that a cactus type plant that one is sitting on?
Thank you, Vic! The plant is a Cardinal air plant. 🙂
Nice. New to me…
Love it
Thank you!
My pleasure
Nice Donna! Congrats adding 1 more for 201!! I seem to always have problems photographing the small birds!!
Thank you, Reed! LOL it can sure take alot of photos to possibly get lucky, the little ones don’t want to stay still very long! Most of mine go to the trash bin. 😉 But on an upside, they are very good to practice our quickness skills!
You are an amazing birder and photographer! It is such a delight to see your bird photography! I can’t wait to join you on a birding adventure soon!
Thank you, Carol! You can see I have a passion for birds. We will have fun together!! 😊
Donna, I appreciate you sharing your photographs of the warblers. Nature truly brings us a respite when we need it most.
Thank you! It’s been a delight to see so many these last several weeks. I love the challenge they present in capturing them, they are so fast! 🙂
Beautiful warblers, Donna. Thank you.
Thank you, Imorgana!
Donna, you get the best views and subjects. 💐
Thank you so much, I am passionate about wildlife and nature. 😊
Great photos!
Thank you!
