[Magee Marsh, OH. May 2015]

The Parade of Warblers continues at Magee Marsh -- joining the illustrious ranks of the already profiled species such as Blackburnian, Magnolia, and Cape May are new species such as Bay-breasted, Orange-crowned, Tennessee, Blackpoll and Wilson's.

First a warbler of earth tones -- Bay-breasted:

During the Biggest Week, crowds on the boardwalk are common and nothing acts more than a crowd magnet than the Blackburnian Warbler:

There are many renowned avian spectacles in North America -- the congregation of Sandhill Cranes at Bosque del Apache, the lekking of Grouse in the Great Plains, the huge flocks of Snow Geese migrating South, and to this list of breathtaking natural wonders, the position at the very top of the honor roll must surely belong to the unparalleled spectacle of neotropical Warbler migration at Magee Marsh.

It's good to see that you had a front row seat for the Blackburnian Warbler, Hemant. The documentation of all your aves is equally stunning.
