Magee’s Magnolia Warblers

Today’s post features one of the many migrating warbler species I photographed recently at the Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, in northern Ohio, the Magnolia Warbler. The Magnolia warbler is one of my favorite warblers to see. I love the beautiful black “streaks” on the yellow chest … such a wonderful contrast of colors!

Here are a few of my favorite images of the Magnolia Warbler, captured on the first day at Magee Marsh:

All of these images were captured on the first day at Magee Marsh. Coming up … more warbler species photographed at Magee Marsh!

Photographic Equipment Used:

  • Canon 7D Mark 2 body
  • Canon 100-400mm, f/4.5-5.6 IS lens, all shot at 400mm
  • Handheld, with IS “On”
  • ISO 500 (top image), 800 (image #2-#3), and ISO 1600 (bottom image)
  • Aperture f/5.6 (all images). Due to the frequent and sudden movements that warblers exhibit, a high ISO was required to assure any movement was “frozen”.
  • Shutter 1/80 sec. thru 1/640 sec.
