Fall Birds

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a walk.  It was, reportedly, not a good day for seeing migrants.  I personally still can't do the math on that one but if you think like a bird it basically amounts to: good flying keep on going, bad flying drop down and hang out for a while.  So we weren't expecting too much but I had some good sitings nonetheless.  The top two are Northern Parulas, the third is TBA, and the last is a juvenile male Common Yellowthroat.

Update: The third one is a Palm Warbler

These are most of the warblers I saw this week.  I have a few unidentified photos so perhaps I'll add another but they might also be vireos so I'll just wait for the experts to weigh in.

For a second day in a row Olivia and I got up early to do some birding.  I made some adjustments to my camera and improved today's photos.  Yesterday I had multiple photos where even the trees were blurry.  I was actually reprimanding myself out loud while I looked at them.  There is no excuse, after all, for the stationary objects in a photo not to be in focus.
