The light was the only real challenge yesterday on the boardwalk at Magee Marsh on the final day of this year’s Biggest Week in American Birding. It rained all morning and the clouds never did lift in the afternoon. The birds along the boardwalk, however, were amazing. The wind kept them down low and temperature kept them avidly feeding. They were often within arm’s reach of the boardwalk. I was photographing this Prothonatory Warbler in the undergrowth when it flew up and landed right in front of my face. And then it sat there and sang. Miraculous!
