Cape May

Cape May Warbler: Magee Marsh Boardwalk, Oak Harbor, Ohio, May 2025 — One of the things to love about being at the Biggest Week in American Birding on the Erie shore in Ohio is that many of the warblers are singing on their stopover…as though they are just too full of song to hold it unit they reach their nesting grounds. 🙂 This Cape May, photographed through foreground foliage, is a good example.

Bobolink

Bobolink: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, June 2025 — The Boboliks are back, nesting in the hayfields along the road in to our local beach, singing from the tops of the saplings. This was taken on a day when the air was full of Canadian wildfire smoke. The smoke did not dampen the song, but it definitely dimmed the photo. Bobolinks are close to invisible most of the year, but during nesting they certainly put on a show. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. (From the seat of my trike).
