I promise not to show you every warbler and every bird I find at Magee Marsh, but here is a second helping at least. (And I promise not to lead off with a Blackburnian every post from The Biggest Week in American Birding, unless, of course, I have an image like this one…which I just can not resist 🙂

Again yesterday I only managed an hour on the boardwalk. I did not even get there until just before 6PM. There were a lot of warblers! I am sure it was totally amazing earlier in the day. And there were many new species, just arrived, like this Black-throated Blue and the Nashville beyond. I had a lot of fun trying for a decent image of the Ovenbird as it feed deep in the undergrowth.

Of course it is not all warblers all the time at Magee Marsh. An American Woodcock or two were drawing crowds, as was the Eastern Screech owl (who has found a new perch this year).

And, just so you don’t think warblers have the corner on color at Magee Marsh, I will finish up with this Rose-breasted Grosbeak…certainly one of the most vivid birds in North America.
