What Do You Think?

I used several tools to identify this bird and they all say it is a Chestnut-sided Warbler. I don't buy it. If it is, it is a juvenile. Any thoughts?

Peekaboo! I See You.

I was excited to see this Black-throated Green Warbler at Garbry Big Woods Reserve earlier this week. We don't see these very often .. maybe once last year, and this one.

The Tennessee Waltz?

I think this is a Tennessee Warbler. It is not a bird I see often, but it sure is beautiful. I love the first two photos. How cool. I am certain he was doing some kind of dance.

Another First

This was the frist time I have photographed a Prairie Warbler. I had no idea they came into this part of Ohio. In fact, when I look at the range for this bird, it really cuts off south of our location. When I heard him, I knew if was someting different. It is very unique. I used the app I discussed recretly and identifyed it while we contined to try and loccate him. Teresa spoted him in a tree, hanging out over the trail. I contined to sing his special tune while we captured a few photos. Made my day.

Black And White ..

This warbler did not want to stay put. I guess allowing me to capture a great photo was not a priority for him.

This is a Black-and-white Warbler. I have always thought they were a beautiful bird, even if they are all black and white.
