(May 17th) There are some critters that you see all the time but for some reason you don't have a good photo of them yet. You don't really aim to go out and shoot them because they are so common, but if you see one, you sure try to get some pictures. You know that time is on your side and you'll eventually have the right circumstances for it. Believe it or not but Northern Cardinals and Blue Jays are on this list for me. For the warbler migration, there has been one warbler that's there every day, but still no images. That's the Black-and-white Warbler. All warblers move a lot, but these guys seem to be on some extra stimulant. They also cling to the tree trunks a lot so are facing bad positions or in deep shade, etc. Today I was quite happy to finally get a few decent shots of one.
Since the migration has been moving along, some of the earlier species have given way a bit to the later ones. This Wilson's Warbler is one of these later species that is starting to become abundant. Here you can see the prominent black cap that the males possess.
Of course there was still time for some of the favorites that I've photographed many times already. Yellow Warblers are setting up their nests now and many of them like to check out what you're doing if you walk near.
