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 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
