Migrating Warblers

I had a nice weekend for warbler migration.  Not great numbers but three different species on 9/1/2018 and two species on 9/2/2018.

The first warbler I saw on Saturday was an Orange-crowned...

Followed by a male Wilson’s warbler…

Finally, I had a visit from a Yellow warbler

Only a Yellow warbler visited more than once, so it was a lot of time spent for only a little photography.  From my photos there seem to have been two different Yellow warblers.

On Sunday, 9/2, I had a rare visit from a male Black-throated Gray warbler, I think only the third visit I’ve had from that species this year.  As I believe I’ve previously said, this species was virtually unknown to me until two or three years ago when one was a frequent visitor for several weeks.

Late in the afternoon, almost too late for photos, I had visit from an Orange-crowned warbler.  These photos are both of the same bird.  If you look closely at the second photo, you can see some orange in the bird’s crown, something difficult to discern in the field.
