Some Warblers Finally

(May 6th) Today I was under a bit of a time crunch, so I stayed close to home at Dolph Park. After days of little to no success in Magee Marsh, there were quite a few warbler in Dolph Park today. Almost all were the two most common species - Yellow-rumped and Palm Warblers, but at this point I cannot complain. This Palm Warbler perched for me in some fantastic light.



Yellow-rumped Warblers are everywhere. They were common in California, Florida, and of course during the spring migration. But they are quite handsome little birds. Even if the background and light are less than ideal, the action of this individual eating a beetle it found makes up for it.
