In Search of Warblers



Warblers are especially difficult to photograph well.  They are tiny so a powerful lens is required.  They usually are in constant motion.  By the time I find them and begin to focus, they have moved to another location.  Many varieties spend a couple of days in Fontenelle Forest before moving north. The sounds of spring filled the wetlands.  I expected a chance to photograph warblers but I struck out.  I did hear warblers behind some of the thick leaves.  

Warblers aside, it was a great day for nature photography!


Dozens of Great American Bullfrogs sat in shallow water.


A Great Egret patiently fished.


A Brown Thrasher searched for insects among the leaves and mud.


Fungi growing in the moist soil.


An Eastern Phoebe rested on a twig.
