Yellow Warbler, Black Swamp Bird Observatory, Oak Harbor OH

A bad day at Magee Marsh during the Biggest Week in American Birding is better than a good day most other places, so, even though the warblers were not dripping from the trees yesterday, there were still a lot of birds. They were sticking high and tucked in to the foliage, so it was a frustrating day for photography, but bird song was all around. I managed to track this Yellow Warbler down, skulking in the brush across the road from the Black Swamp Bird Observatory and Optics Alley were I am working the booth for ZEISS. It always takes me a day or so to get my warbler eye on…and to train my hands for the warbler catch 🙂
