Warblers, warblers everywhere and hardly time to think.
I’ve wondered about my strategy of going to the same place so many times, but I wonder no longer. I was surrounded by warblers for an hour or so, including the relatively rare Connecticut Warbler. Several other birds made it into a near perfect day.
I did find a few bugs, but I didn’t spend much time on them.
Cardinals are year round residents.
You have to like a Brown Thrasher who poses so well.
Magnolia Warblers continue to be plentiful.
This is the seldom seen Connecticut Warbler.
Cornell:”The uncommon Connecticut Warbler is a skulker of thickets, foraging primarily on or near the ground. It breeds in boreal forest and winters in northern South America.”

Red Eyed Vireos are also feeding rapidly.
Blackburnian-Warbler
Tennessee Warbler
Cape May Warbler
I thought this was a Blackpoll Warbler, which just goes to show how confusing Fall warblers can be.

Beautiful, Hugh. I’m dying to get out more. I’ve been imprisoned at work, and now at home too…we are trying to get our house ready to sell so we can quit our jobs and hike, bike, bird and kayak full time. I love that you are consistently out there.
Also trying to get my house ready to sell…Seeing your lovely photos takes me out of all that…thank you!
