I walked along the shore for a bit and found myself suddenly surrounded by warblers. Lots of warblers. I ID'd several species before a male Cape May made me curse myself for not having my camera every second. I scurried back and started the walk again. Most of the birds were Blackpoll Warblers.
Dozens of Blackpolls flitted through the branches but, man, how difficult it is to take photos of hungry warblers in tight quarters.
Most of the Blackpolls were male but there were a few females in the mix.
I was able to relocate the Cay May Warbler but it stayed in the shadows. You can still make out that beautiful color, though.
A few Black-throated Warblers, Magnolia Warbler, and American Redstarts were coming into view as the birds covered several trees just above the lake.
Northern Parulas are easy to find once they return here in March but they are still fun to watch and listen to.
A few Common Yellowthroats chased one another through the Cypress trees and rounded out the species count.
Oh, yeah. I have to go to work. Though I could stand here all day.
