Yellow-throated warbler

Spring has definitely arrived. We got an exciting visitor to the yard this morning, a yellow-throated warbler. Click on picture to enlarge.

Occupy the Wakarusa Wetlands

Every picture I post this week will be from the area of the Wakarusa Wetlands that will be obliterated by the SLT. I have hundreds of pictures of hundreds of species who will be displaced and/or killed by greed and indifference.

This will be gone. Click on pictures to enlarge.

Spring fallout

Today was a great day for seeing little birds. With the south wind and warm weather, spring arrivals were everywhere. I hope they all do well over the next few days of rain and cold. I saw my first of the season Baltimore oriole, numerous warblers, FOS Eastern kingbird, and more little blue-gray gnatcatchers than I could count. While they were just too fast for pictures, I also got great looks at indigo and painted buntings, a summer tanager, and an American redstart. What a day for colorful birds!

A morning of little birds

I went looking for warblers this morning and was rewarded with a Prothonotary. What cuties they are. There were several of them working the trees. I also saw quite a few of the little gnat catchers and a host of young barn and tree swallows. The weather was amazing. What a nice morning to sneak out. Click on pictures to enlarge.

Between storms

It was a great morning to be out. I was able to spend some time at both the Wakarusa Wetlands and Clinton Lake before getting rained out. Click on pictures to enlarge.

Yellow-rumped warbler

Sometimes known as “butter butt.” 🙂 Great to see them again! Click on pictures to enlarge.

Wonderful Wakarusa Wetlands

Sadly, my camera is off getting fixed and I have no idea how long it will be away. I’ve been so busy with work these last few weeks that I am way behind on updating the blog. The good news is, I have a nice assortment of pictures to post over the next few days and can’t wait to share them. 🙂 These are from a long walk in the Wetlands on August 16.

Warblers wobble, but…

This little cutie came to check me out when I was taking pictures at the wetlands on Monday. It’s amazing how these little ones will travel a hundred miles or more in a night during migration. Click on picture to enlarge.

Nothing common about him

This little guy is a common yellowthroat warbler. He seemed to be zooming around the wetlands a few feet ahead of me on the trail the entire time I was there. Click on picture to enlarge.
