All of the following photographs were taken on May 5,2015, just outside Austin, Texas.

This is another photo of a first-year male Summer tanager…

A photo of a male Black-chinned hummingbird.  The gorget of this bird reflects a bright blue color but I saw no reflections the entire time (eight observation days) that I spent in the area.  This is the predominant species of hummingbird in the area although there are occasionally Ruby-throated hummingbirds.

This next bird is a White-winged dove.  These birds were practically unknown in the Austin area when I was growing up but they are now moving north and displacing the Mourning doves as the predominant dove.

This is an Ash-throated flycatcher.  My sister had a pair raising a family in a nest box and although this bird was photographed a hundred yards or so from the nest box, it was probably one of the parents.

This is a male Lesser goldfinch, the goldfinch that resides in Central Texas year-round.  They also host American goldfinches, but only for the winter.  The American goldfinches have now made their way to the Pacific Northwest where we will have larger numbers all summer, but some will stay and spend the winter with us.

And now on to the warblers.  This first one is a male Blackburnian warbler, the first one I have ever photographed.

And finally, a male Chestnut-sided warbler… only the second ones I’ve ever seen and the first I have ever photographed.  (I figure that it is deserving of at least two photographs!)
