Yellow Warbler at Wooton’s Landing

After yesterday’s successes, I decided to try Wooton again. This time, I approached the beaver pond more slowly, and got some good shots as a result.

There’s still no large numbers of warblers, but two Yellow Warblers were very cooperative.

Beaver 17

Beaver 18

Most Beavers run away quickly, so I was surprised at this guy’s cooperation.

Prothonotary Warbler 112

There seems to be more Pothonotary Warblers than in past years.

Eastern Kingbird 102

Eastern Kingbird 103

This Eastern Kingbird seemed to be gathering nesting material.

White Eyed Vireo 105

I followed this White Eyed Vireo for 20 minutes to get a clear shot.

Osprey 326

I often wonder how Ospreys succeed in such a small marsh.

Great Blue Heron 299

Great Blue Herons fly over Wooton in large numbers.

 

White Throated Sparrow 208

White Throated Sparrow 207

White Throated Sparrows seem to stay around later than other sparrows.

Swamp Sparrow 110

I see more Swamp Sparrows at Wooton than anywhere else.

Cornell: “North America has more than 50 species of warblers, but few combine brilliant color and easy viewing quite like the Yellow Warbler. In summer, the buttery yellow males sing their sweet whistled song from willows, wet thickets, and roadsides across almost all of North America. The females and immatures aren’t as bright, and lack the male’s rich chestnut streaking, but their overall warm yellow tones, unmarked faces, and prominent black eyes help pick them out.”
