I’m sure you noticed most of the warblers are in a specific tree species. I figured out last Spring that if I watched these four trees around 8:45-9:30 a.m. on our forecasted migration push the previous night, the warblers would come. The tree tops become lit with sunlight at that time, so insects are easier to see and be gobbled quickly as the warblers flit and flutter through them. And then like the snap of the fingers, the warblers move on. This year was the exact scenario.
I know I asked before but cannot remember the answer, who can tell me the tree species? (Eliza?) I’ll make a note this time and promise not forget!
I might get lucky in the next week or so with a few more warblers, but they have mostly pretty much flown through my coop! 😉
And finally, a bit of humor to round out my warbler Spring season.

Beautiful series Donna
Thank you, Ashley!
Another beautiful set, Donna.
Thank you, Michael!
You’re most welcome, Donna.
I have to admit, the light in the foliage becomes so noticeable that the birds almost have to submit and become extras for a while. At the same time, the yellow-green tones are reflected in the plumage. Magical!
Thank you, Hans, I truly agree! The lighting is just soft enough to not blow out the foliage yet bright enough to share the bird. I love your comment “Magical”, it is just that!
Beautiful and fun post. 😊
Thank you! 😊
Fabulous sharing! I love the DoF in almost all pics, Donna!
Thank you, Indira!
Beautiful and much respect for you to identify them. Love the jokes.
These birds are stunning !!!! I don’t get a collection like this in a year (or two).
Gorgeous Donna, as always
Of all these wonderful photos, the Magnolia Warbler is my favourite 😊
That American Redstart knows how to put on a show. What a gorgeous bird! Beautiful gallery from start to finish.
