I made a brief stop at Wehr Nature Center this afternoon to see if there was some warbler action and there was. Warblers seen were Magnolia, Orange-crowned, Black-throated Green, Palm, Yellow-rumped, Black-and-white, Blackpoll, and Northern Waterthrush. They put on some great shows feeding while I was there. A warm afternoon with partly cloudy skies and low winds. Images were taken on May 2, 2018.

I commend you for your shot of the Northern Waterthrush!!!! I am Now the 1st one in the club to have seen one (I asked Bill Volkert (at our club meeting on Sunday, 04/22/18) if it was possible to see one so early (day before the snow storm) in April and he said it’s a possibility. So, Yes, I did see one!!! I never saw one so close to my patio only down at the Marsh which is located about 200 yards from my patio. How cool!!!!
Awesome Jim!
Colorful warblers are the perfect sign of spring. Great photos, Jim!
