Brown Creeper I take a photo of these birds every chance I get, because I’m always hoping to get that one great photo, that I’m super happy with. This was that photo for me! My challenge is to get them from the side, in great light, sharp, with a nice background. I definitely felt I achieved that with this one. Definitely my favorite to date! If you’ve ever tried to photograph this bird, I’m sure you know how difficult it can be to get a clean, sharp photo!
Palm Warbler This was actually the 1st Warbler I saw this Spring! They’re the most cooperative warblers in my opinion! I posted the Yellow-throated Warbler 1st because it’s more rare in these parts.
Yellow-throated Warbler This Warbler has been the main attraction at Franklin Park! I happened to check ebird yesterday and someone reported seeing it the day before, so I decided to go out and see if I could find it. Figured I’d take a chance. Soon as I arrived to the location, there it was singing and foraging in the trees. Not a lifer for me, but 1st time seeing it in Massachusetts. My 1st encounter was in Florida.
1st time ever seeing this behavior! Belted Kingfisher ♂️ offering the female a fish. You never know what you’ll encounter in nature! That’s what make it so interesting!
Dark-eyed Junco I was out yesterday looking for spring migrants and was surprised to see these guys still here. I figured they would’ve been gone by now. Of course I had to get a photo. Definitely the best photo I’ve taken this year of one, so I appreciate the opportunity.
Yellow-rumped Warbler ♂️ The Warblers are coming, the Warblers are coming! I was able to photograph this beautiful bird yesterday, plus a Black-and-white Warbler. I’m hoping this is a sign for a great Spring migration!
