That's quite a variety of warblers on display. Well done. It's challenging to get a good one for the reasons you've stated, but that's what makes it so rewarding when the effort pays off. You have MANY examples of that here.
I can't imagine how much effort you put into getting these Larry. Each was a challenge and each is quite rewarding for your efforts! The Tennessee is one I have not seen before.
I think your Chestnut shots are wonderful and full of character with the one in the clear simply outstanding
Lots of goodies here buddy so I will look them over several times to appreciate them all, great work my friend

What a great variety of warblers Larry. They are my most difficult target species. Good thing we only see them mostly in May during spring migration. You did an excellent job of capturing them out in the open for the most part.
What a set Larry! Jewels of the forest, these guys. Love the B&W, Maggie #2, and the Black-throated Blue! I've never had much luck photographing those three species.
I must break it to you that you "only" have 18 warbler species here. #26 is a Red-eyed Vireo, not a Tennessee Warbler. That large, hooked beak is a the biggest giveaway that it's a vireo. The Tennessee's beak is very sharp and narrow. The red eye and black eyebrow also wouldn't be present. It is a fine shot though!
First off, a couple of FM'ers have enlightened me! Photo #26 is of a "Red-Eyed Vireo", not a "Tennessee Warbler". Both are extremely similar. I guess that I have yet to see a "Tennessee". Oh well, back to the woodlands.

Double fantastic stuff Larry and more for placing Prothonotary in the top of the pile because none are prettier
Hi Schreeni,
Thank you. The Prothonotary is one of my favorite Warblers with the Redstart a close second.
