Canada Warbler at Magee Marsh

I am having a lot of fun at the Biggest Week in American Birding, and I've seen oodles of beautiful warblers. Highest counts so far for me have been Magnolia Warblers, American Redstarts, Chestnut-sided Warblers, Bay-breasted Warblers, Wilson's Warblers, Blackpoll Warblers, Black-throated Warblers, and Canada Warblers (basically, they are everywhere). Here are a few shots of a female Canada Warbler...

…that big, bespectacled eye is gorgeous!






I would write more, but I'm exhausted...

The first field sketching class on Monday was a blast! What a wonderful experience. We all had fun, and everyone created fantastic sketches. The second class is tomorrow. Fingers crossed the rain holds off!
