Cape May Warbler, Part 1

By Jim | Published June 19, 2019

Not!!! I apologize for the mis-identification of this lovely bird.  As a couple of birding friends pointed out, this is a male Black-throated Green Warbler, not a Cape May.  Sorry for the misinformation! Today’s post features another colorful warbler, another “lifer” that I captured during this year’s spring warbler migration at the Magee Marsh Wildlife […]

With several species of warblers now in the area, I was photographing Yellow Warblers and Prothonotary Warblers from the kayak. One Prothonotary Warbler was very active, hunting insects/spiders around the trees that are standing in the creek. It was […]

Nesting Along the Water’s Edge

By Jim | Published June 16, 2014

On Saturday morning, I went to one of my favorite places for kayaking. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to kayak, since it has been over a year when water levels were sufficient to kayak this area. Fortunately, all the recent rains made it quite kayakable! The main issues at this location are fallen […]
