Blackburnian Warber: Magee Marsh Boardwalk, Oak Harbor, Ohio, USA, May 2025 — Most years at the Biggest Week in American Birding on the Erie Shore in Ohio, I have to work hard for my first eye-level shots to a Blackburnian, and they don’t come until my last days there. This year this Blackburnian was working both sides of the boardwalk, at and below eye-level, for over 3 hours on my first day in Ohio. And he was close! Occasionally I thought he might hop inside to my lens hood to look at his reflection. Such a treat! Blackburnian is, by the way, a name I hope survives the great honorific culling…it is just such a perfect name for this little blank and burning warbler. I guess they can change it to Blackburning. That would be okay. 🙂 Black and Orange will not do. Sorry. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program with my birds and wildlife modifications.
