Today a large number of migrating warblers could be seen at and around Belle Isle. This was the largest Warbler fallout I have seen at Belle Isle, the birds must have come in over night since only a few were seen yesterday. I was only able to get a few good photographs, as must birds were actively foraging and singing. 15 species of Warbler seen: Black & White Warbler, Canada Warbler, Prairie Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Cape May Warbler, Louisiana Water-thrush, Ovenbird, American Redstart, Yellow Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, Black-throated Green Warbler, Northern Parula, Pine Warbler, Wilsons Warbler and Yellow-rumped Warbler.
What I thought was Cape May Warbler female, Geoff caught my mistake and pointed out Black-throated Green Warbler - female. God damn Warblers. Still difficult for me. Even after a number of years under my belt, just not seeing the volume of each species and sex can catch you off guard.
