I love the oversized beaks on these guys. This one's markings look a bit unusual. Their aerial breeding displays are dramatic and high energy.
The fall migrating warblers fly through in mixed warbler species waves often associated with bands of Black-capped Chickadees. They aren't singing, but do emit their short warning or scolding calls.
They are constantly on the move looking for food to sustain them on the next leg of their journey south. There no control of the light situation.as they move through light and shadow. This one just caught something to eat, and paused for a few seconds.

Yesterday's somewhat unexpected snow must have surprised this Wilson's Snipe, it was not getting any response to its melodious Song.
Bad weather usually results in good opportunities for photography, saw few Moose and Coyotes.
Wilson lives a few houses away from me, but he was visiting my neighbors' yard while they were out of town.
Wilson’s Snipe look so stocky thanks in part to the extra-large pectoral (breast) muscles that make up nearly a quarter of the bird’s weight—the highest percent of all shorebirds. Thanks to their massive flight muscles this chunky sandpiper can reach speeds estimated at 60 miles an hour.
Went out on this lovely winter evening ... feeling more like Spring with temperatures near 60 degrees F. Of course they are calling for potential measurable snow again by Friday here ... we'll see.
Been wanting to take some captures at the relatively new park along Middle River, called Wilson Point Park. Nice boardwalk along the river, with some neat structures around too. Had some fun with them here in the blue hour.
