A few more migrants came through our yard this week. I was surprised to find a Swainson's Thrush AND a Wood Thrush AND an Ovenbird all in the same compost area back by the gardens. They were all scratching around in the debris and I wasn't sure where to point the camera first.
Warblers are so fast and so challenging to get photos of! I managed a few, but some eluded me - even a few ID's eluded me as I just wasn't able to get a good look at them before they twirled around a branch, a leaf, a tree trunk, and then were gone... Ahhhh, but such beautiful jewels they are and how wonderful that they come by and grace us with their appearance a couple of times a year...
