Radiant Warblers


In the Midwest, the month of February is typically frigid, cloudy and gray. As we shiver and shovel through the winter season, I offer these warbler images with hope that they will brighten your day.

A brilliant Yellow Warbler pauses for a moment in the marsh

Foraging along the creek ~ Prothonotary Warbler
Crooning a tune amid the leaf litter ~ Kentucky Warbler

    Very nice series! Excellent quality images of warblers most of which we never get to see in breeding plumage. :(
    That's okay. They're beautiful no matter what their wardrobe!

    Thank you for sharing!

    Beautiful series of photos Julie. You show great composition and your one line descriptions are beyond average. Is creativity part of what you do? Writer? Advertising?

    Julie, this is so inspiring! It's a great review for the coming spring migration. I hope to see some of these beauties soon! You captured that flaming orange throat on the Blackburnian Warbler just perfectly!

    Yes those pictures did brighten my day. Very pretty vibrant colors. Then the subtle colors and blend of the Northern Parula too cool. Thanks. www.islikley.com for weather.
