Each year at Magee Marsh during the Biggest Week in American Birding, some Warbler wins the “In Your Face” award for the most and the best close encounters. Last year it was the Chestnut-sided, hands down. The year before it was the Black-throated Green. This year it was a close run event between the Prothonatory and the Magnolia, with the Magnolia, in my experience and opinion, winning by a feather…and a breast feature at that. (Some birders may differ.) I will even admit that for me it might just be a trick of the light. I caught the Magnolia in full sun a few times, and never did manage a really well lit image of the Prothonatory.
