Warbler Madness

I went to Jamaica Bay again this weekend. It was crazy. I spent along time training my bird songs. It was almost usless. There were so many birds calling I had no clue where to start. I had around 13 lifers. Unfortuneally it was very gloomy and almost impossible to get a picture of birds with such little light. There were tree swallows all around. I had fun taking pictures of them and the house wrens.

This one was very upset the tree swallow stole his house :(

    You do have a nice selection of birds on your list. Some I have here in my backyard, from time to time. Nice post.

    Pretty decent photos for such a gloomy day. What camera are you using? As for bird songs - be patient. I've been working on them for 30 years. I think this spring Warbling Vireo has finally clicked. But Yellow-rump still is confusing.
