Cape May Warbler, Part 1

By James Braswell | Published June 19, 2019

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 […]

By James Braswell | Published May 27, 2019

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 […]

Magee’s “Big Birds”

By James Braswell | Published May 24, 2019
