Incredible day with the Wilson's

Tiller, OR(Zone 8a)

I spent several hours at the thickets down by the creek, and the Wilson's Warblers gave me a great show. This is my favorite of what I've gone through so far.................my pin up poster!

The longer I sat there, the closer they came, often landing too close for photos.

Such pretty little birds, and seldom are they still,

Terrific shots of these gorgeous Warblers.

The only thing that would have made it better would have been other warbler species being as co-operative.

Yes, they sure aren't always easy, are they?

Great Job Tiger! The time you spent was well worth it. Warbler's are my favorite!

I believe there were at least a couple dozen Wilson's, as well as a few Nashville, Audubon's, and perhaps others. The thickets were just hopping so, that I didn't know where to point the camera. It was awesome!

Tiger lily, such beautiful shots. About a week ago I took photos at the rookery in Audubon Park, New Orleans. I just haven't found the energy to post them yet. Thanks for your Warblers.

Dynamite pics, tigerlily. I only ever saw a Wilson's Warbler one time. And, as I raised my camera, he took off, never to be seen again. I'm sure that your day was filled with excitement. Congratulations !.

What a difference today. Not a single warbler. Darn few birds at all. Sure am glad I stayed around yesterday. I might never have another day like it!

PERTH, Australia

Wonderful photos, tiger. That may be a never-repeated event.

That's the way it is with migration . . . they're probably all well into Canada by now. A sudden concentration of migrating birds like that is called a 'fall'; most often it happens when migrating birds run into weather that they don't want to carry on flying in (e.g. rain, or fog, or strong headwinds).
