magnolia warbler

More of the shady forest birds, migrating through Florida. The magnolia warblers come through over a few weeks in fall and spring. Light can be awfully challenging, but I still want to capture them when they come through

We've been playing lots of music, and here's our latest on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJw_P0fxyqM&t=134s We did not write the words!!

Wish the leaves surrounding it were as pretty

We're back from a very enjoyable visit to Ohio, Michigan and Ontario. Saw 32 species of migrating warblers at Magee Marsh.

I just joined the bird forum, so this is an old photo, but was such a nice magnolia

I was so amazed to see this Warbler grab the Swallowtail. It made short work of its capture and I caught the tail end literally.

I believe this is a female and it may be its first year, but only maybe.

This is a breeding male I believe. One of our more showy warblers here in the states.

Magnolia Warbler

Magnolia Warbler (Setophaga magnolia) Species sexually dimorphic. Photographed in Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary, High Island, Galveston County, Texas, USA. Gulf Prairies and Marshes Vegetational Area. Salt dome ca. 1 mi (1.6 km) inward from the Gulf of Mexico within an oak/hackberry mott with...

Back from the birdfair so posting again. Had a great time at the BF meeting old friends and contacts, meeting new opersons and looking at the equipment. The new Canon 200-400 is a beast of a lens.

This warbler nests in mixed coniferous woods and that's why I see it close to home more than others.

Only saw it the one time but glad I saw it ;)

I was lucky to get this image since the bird popped up so close that I had to change the minimum focus on the lens, and these birds don't stick around for long.

I believe this is a male in breeding atire. It seems to have a thick necklace and broad wing patch, but only it knows for sure. For those interested in an amazing scene on a Brizilian beach between humans and dolphins, here is a link; http://elcomercio.pe/player/1384898

Watch out for the thorns!

Is this bird an immature or fall adult? Your opinion is welcome. It was part of a mixed flock of warblers foraging in a successional forest dominated by paper and gray birch trees.

Shot of the female of this species. Looks very much like the male but less striping on chest and less stripe above eye.

Another of the many warblers from Ohio trip. Was able to get shots of both male and female of this spercies. Man, what a trip.
