Fantastic. I know how tough warblers can be. That prothonotary is extra fine. We only get a few pairs in Canada as they are on their northern edge here.
Great shoot!! Don
Hi -
Sad - Sorry that we (FMers) don't have an ID to let others know that we are a small part of a great group - I think that we were talking when you were there -
Too, bad -
I must say that you did great - They are all wonderful shots -
Thanks, and enjoy -

What a treat it must have been to just see these. You got some marvellous images here Greg. The middle three are my faves, but each is an image I'd be proud to have taken. Well done!!
Appreciate it, Ken. It was great fun. Challenging, but great fun. ~Greg

Knowing how difficult the shooting conditions are and the funky weather that was going on you did Marvelous!
Nothing wrong with that great bird on a stick, lots to see at Magee besides warblers
Impressive files at 3200 ISO, you really reached out to fill the frame and it shows nicely. Very pretty on that Cape May, lovely Magnolia, pretty Prothonatary and a rippin' nice Redstart!
You did good sir, very good So sorry I could not meet up with you
Karl
Thanks so much, Karl! I'll take a rain check. A real rain check! (There were several downpours during the day...I was caught once in the tower...my rig was fine but I got soaked.

Well worth the trip Greg! You got some real beauties and the processing does them proud. Glad you got out there and I'm sure there are more to come.
Eric
Appreciate it, Eric! There are a few more, but, sadly, only a few (working on those now). Guess I will just have to go back next year.

You did great, Greg! Looks like it was a trip well worth taken.
Every shot is so well captured and presented. Clean detail, lifelike colors, good control of the light and the perch is simple and effective with a pleasant and smooth bg.
I'm hard pressed to pick a favorite, I like each and everyone of these. Well done!
Socrate
Thanks so much, Socrate, that means a lot coming from you (I'm catching up on FM after being away for a few days).

Great job on the warblers Greg. I found them to be one of the most challenging bird groups top photograph. Probably because they never sit still for more than a quarter second. I love them all.
Thanks, Herb! A quarter second sounds about right. But I think kinglets might be worse! ~Greg
