The Nine

 


In my opinion, these are among the nine prettiest birds you will ever see and you get to see them all during migration in May at the Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary. All of these birds were there within the past week and within a week or so, they will all be gone up north, looking for mates. This is my third year shooting warblers--tough, colorful, little birds always on the move--and my first at Montrose Point. What a discovery. So many birds (and birders) in a very condensed area. Want to know what birds are there? Follow the birders. They go right for the interesting, colorful and the rarities. Enjoy.

Second Set of May Birds

 


Got a couple of Yellow Warblers which have to be one of the most photogenic birds. You get them with a blue sky or with some colorful flowers around them and you got an amazing shot. Got some other nice spring birds as well. As I have said before, late April and early May are the best time for birders.

Some weekend birds


Late April/early May is always a good time to go birding. The weather turns nicer and the warblers start to show up. The males are all dressed to impress and everyone is singing. Here are some from the last week.
