Magnolia Warbler: Magee Marsh Boardwalk, Oak Harbor, Ohio, USA, May 2025 \u2014 I suppose I do have a most wanted list in my head when I come to the Biggest Week in American Birding on the Erie Shore of Ohio. I am happy to see anything I see, and I would love to see a Kirtlands or a Canada (birds I have rarely seen) or a Worm-eating (which I have never seen) but I don\u2019t really expect to see any of those, so I am not disappointed to come home without a photo. However I would be more than a little disappointed to come home without a new photo of a Magnolia Warbler, or a Blackburnian, or a Chestnut-sided. These regular warblers are on my most wanted list because I do expect to see them and they are often possible to photograph well. I went 3 days without my Magnolia and I was beginning to wonder, but yesterday I walked up on one feeding close and low, without a lot of other photographers in the way, so I could spend some time following along as the bird actively feed and moved down the boardwalk and around the corner where it branches. It was not still for more than a few seconds at a time, but I took about 100 shots and did manage to get a few keepers. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm. Program with my birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator. <\/p>\n
