I can't id that very last one, looks like an older type of buzzard common in N.America but I'm not certain, What's that in its clutches? Looks like an ornament for its nest or to impress a mate. I'd help please!
Very nice job on these little birds. You sure got the pretty ones, some I have never seen before. Magnolia and Blackburnian are my favorites. However gotta give credit to the Black-throated Green for trying to steal the show Looks like you had fun, had good light and good company I enjoyed your resuts!
thanks very much everyone, I really appreciate the feedback., Pelee is a cool place to shoot, and a great place to hike in the woods, awesome trails, and lots to see.

Great stuff...Does it ever feel busy at Pelee in terms of the amount of people there?
Thanks Josh
I have heard some stories!! 600 people on the beach chasing one bird! the police had to be brought in!
Where ever there is a concentration of birds, there are many photogs, and birders fighting for position., it can get hectic., but most of the time people are civil.
Many people avoid the crowded area, and wander around, there are lots for everyone to see.
What a collection, Ray. Except for the first shots, the others would be all firsts for me (well, with the exception of the last one )
Beautiful color and bg in all of them. Detail and lighting are very good as well. A collection to be proud of.
