On April 21 I observed a number of Yellow-rumped warblers in a tree in my backyard. They were coming and going and also visiting my water feature. I managed a few photos:
At one point there were three together in the water feature:
There was also a Myrtle:
I'm curious about this one, is this an intergrade Audubon's x Myrtle?
A couple weeks ago I had a large flock of VG swallows with some Vaux's Swifts. They are terribly difficult to photograph for a number of reasons. They are usually high, backlit, and move really quick. Accordingly my photos were terrible. Here's a highly cropped, very backlit one
Finally, last week there was a chickadee in my blooming crab-apple tree. I'm not crazy about the chickadee's pose but it was the best I got and I like the backdrop:
I'm not looking forward to migration ending!
