The place was crawling with Yellow-rumped and Cape May Warblers. It was a busy morning - where to shoot.
These little ones were very plentiful during this migration but their enthusiasm set them apart. They ate berries with such gusto you couldn't help but laugh, coming right up to your feet to pick one up if it happened to drop. This image is from early in the week.....but by yesterday they looked like little round balls bouncing around the trees and on the ground as they consumed more berries than I ever thought possible!
Photographed on September 20, at North Beach (Lake Michigan), Racine, WI. (Racine County). Observed with a small group of Sanderlings.
I went out to Weed Lake to check a mudflat that has been developing the past couple of weeks. There was a good concentration of shorebirds, including a few I've yet to photograph. However the Stilts were on watch today, notifying everything in the area that there was this crazy guy laying in the mud with a big white tube. Nothing came close but the Stilts. I'm quite happy with this shot, very little sharpening was added. Canon 7D, 300 mm 2.8L, 1.4 MK3 extender.

A great morning out with Eric Bozek from the camera store. I was feeling a little jealous, as he was shooting the new Canon EOS 1DX and a 500mm. Of course, I love the challenge and came home with some images I really like.

Those first 3 winter pelicans feeling relaxed in their winter home. Looking like two body guards who fell asleep on the job.

There are a lot of reasons I love Fall - but one of them is because large flocks of water fowl travel south to Texas to spend the winter months.

Last night, I posted the adult plumage, and tonight, I'm posting the juvenile Black-bellied Plover.
Also check out the flight series here.
First fall female. Cochran Shoals Unit. Chattahoochee NRA. Atlanta. This last week.
Compare the above plumage with that of a breeding season spring male from 2009 at Kennesaw Mountain below:
This was the second and last time I saw him sitting in a tree. I did see him rocketing through the trees chasing the flickers.
On Friday afternoon I took a little walk around the neighborhood to check for birds. Found a mixed-species flock with lots of red-eyed vireos and black-throated green warblers. There were also five Pine Warblers that responded very well to my pishing.
This guy perched out in the open for quite a little while, even allowing for a video of him preening.
