A Day with Warbler's at Ottawa NWR

Sandusky, OH

This thread is comprised of about 16 hours of birdwatching. It was a beautiful day! I was very successful in getting many quality images of many different Warbler's and other bird's. I will try to limit the picture's to just 2 or 3 image's of each species. Thanks for the title Warbler King gang! Enjoy all the Warbler's!

Start of with a shot of a Bay-breasted Warbler
