Eye Candy: the Magnolia Warbler Published: September 13, 2011 Tags: General Observations, Magnolia Warbler, Red-eyed Vireo, Nashville Warbler, Tennessee Warbler It's always a treat to see a warbler! Yesterday, I got to see a Magnolia Warbler again. They passed through this past spring and I enjoyed a very nice photo opportunity that one day. A couple flitted very near to where I was stalking a couple of Nashville and Tennessee warblers. I remember I nearly dropped my camera as I saw two of those beauties flit in and amongst our lilac bushes very close to where I was hiding. Today, another came by - not close enough for a great photo, but enough to identify it. A pair of Red-eyed Vireos were foraging near where I was watching the warbler, so I grabbed a few shots of them. I wonder if it's the same pair as the couple who had the failed nesting experience earlier this spring.
