Even better weather, with slightly warmer temps and a near cloudless sky. I stayed in the lower area today, and it paid off, with a small rush of warblers that turned into a larger flight and brought in some interesting birds in good light.
Later, I did the usual insect tour.
Great Blue Herons seem to like this perch.
Magnolia Warblers remain the dominant warbler.
Scarlet Tanagers are still passing through.
White Eyed Vireos don’t often pose this well.
I haven’t seen many Tennessee Warblers.
Dozens of Blue Jays were migrating overhead.
Yellow Billed Cuckoos are posing often this week.
Downy Woodpeckers are common, but attractive.
The Bay Breasted Warbler is another rare bird for me.
Blackburnian Warbler
