Migrating Warblers

.

The past couple weeks I’ve been chasing migrating warblers in the mornings in my backyard.  They are on a constant move, zipping from branch to branch, gobbling up insects.  After flying all night and landing just before dawn, breakfast is their number one priority.  I’d be hungry too!

Here’s twelve warbler species that gave me just enough time for a shot.
