One of my birding stops today was for warblers at Whitnall Park. Earlier birding in the rain along the lakefront produced very little to brag about. Lake Park had nice views of White-crowned and White-throated Sparrows everywhere, along with a split-second glimpse of a beautiful Ovenbird. The rain was just letting up as I headed west and the stop at Whitnall Park produced views of a stunning Cape May Warbler. Other warblers present, Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Yellow-rumps, Common Yellowthroat, Palm. Other warblers that made very brief appearances were the American Redstart, Black-throated Blue, Black-and-white, not even long enough to get the camera on them. Very many Ruby-crowned Kinglets were also present. Always exciting to see new warblers as they start coming though the area. A rainy morning to start but then cloudy skies which was great. Temps chilly to start but warmed up nicely. Images were taken on May 6, 2019.

Beautiful photos Jim!
You had a great morning. Hope they’re still there tomorrow.
Beautiful! A very rewarding morning for you and in turn for us to enjoy also! You’re so lucky to have a spot that attracts such a variety…and you have the speed to capture them!
Beautiful image set Jim. I guess it’s time to head out to shoot some warblers.
Super nice. The Cape May is neat.
Stunning!!!!
Always amazing images, Jim! Keep up the good work, and greatly appreciate you sharing it with us.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
