In addition to the Magnolia Warbler we also had a Willow Flycatcher, Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Black-throated Blue Warbler (male and female,) Least Flycatcher, lots of Yellow Warblers, Catbirds, Robin and I’m sure I’m forgetting some. Not banded, but spotted, was a Black and White Warbler and a Blackburnian Warbler.

AMAZING photos Linda!! Aren’t those Chestnut-sided Warblers cute?
Nice shot of the hook on the Vireo. I just read about that feature on Vireos.
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher looks MAD!!
Your close-ups are a valuable learning tool for me. Thanks!

Thanks, Lynne
Going to the banding really is teaching me a lot, too. I didn’t know that Vireos had that hook on their beaks before that. It helps identify what kind of bird they are. The Yellow-bellied Flycatcher was very tired. A lot of these birds may have come in on the storm the night before. We discussed that many think they do that. I guess they ride the wind up or something. It was cold that morning too. Their feathers were all puffed up to stay warm. He was alright, though, and ended up flying away.

I’m so glad you got these photos Linda since I left my camera at home.
Now I get to show Don the Black throated Blue I retrieved from the net.
