Finally some more warblers! (1 Viewer)

Yesterday I finally had a few warblers. I got up early and from ~6:45 a.m to 8:30 I birdwatched. Here's what I saw:
Blackburnian Warblers
Chestnut-Sided Warblers
Yellow-Rumped Warblers
Black-Throated Green Warblers
Nashville Warblers
Green Heron
Great-Crested Flycatchers
Baltimore Orioles
Rose-Breasted Grosbeak

I went back out ~2:00 p.m. I heard a Blue-Winged Warbler's "Beeeees Buuzzzzzz." Since I have never gotten a good look a Blue-Winged, I went back into the woods to look for it. After ten minutes of neck-craning and pishing, it finally showed itself I could see that it was a Brewster's Warbler! (A hybrid between Blue-Winged and Golden-Winged Warblers) A lifer for me. I got great looks at it before it moved on. Other birds that I saw on Sunday afternoon included:
Orange-Crowned Warbler
Black-And-White Warblers
Chimney Swifts
White-Crowned Sparrow
Common Yellowthroat
Palm Warblers
Yellow Warblers

Today I saw:
Yellow-Rumped Warblers
Black-Throated Green Warblers
Bay-Breasted Warbler
Nashville Warblers
Scarlet Tanager
Blackburnian Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Baltimore Oriole

So the major warbler migration has finally started in my part of Michigan.
 
Yes, it was very colorful. Sadly, most of the birds are gone. All I saw this morning was a Wood Thrush and a Black-Throated Blue Warbler.
