PELEE FALL SONGBIRDS

On September 8th I spent a really enjoyable day at Pelee with Karen and Dan Olech. The day started out pretty wet but within twenty minutes it ceased and there were birds everywhere we looked. The bright overcast conditions made for some decent photography. Although the songbirds were in fall plumage it was still great fun. Here are a few of my best images from the day.

First a BLACK AND WHITE WARBLER



Then a female/juv BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER




and a co-operative BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER...



another great close NORTHERN PARULA...




and to finish up warblers, one of the most abundant - a MAGNOLIA WARBLER...




Lastly, one of an amazing forty plus PHILADELPHIA VIREOS that we tallied!
