It is such a treat to have so many Yellow Warblers at the Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge singing away during this breeding season.
The picture of this Canada Warbler was taken in Central Park at the Point in New York City. The picture of Canada Warbler was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.
It took me quite a while to be able to get a picture of this Canada Warbler because he did not stay in one place for very long.
I was lucky to find a nice spot where there were many migrants bathing in in the New York Botanical Gardens near the Twin Lakes.
When my flash batteries ran out yesterday at the point in Central Park where most of the birds are in shade, I realized how essential the flash is in getting the picture most of the time. And how I should carry extra batteries with me all the time even though I have a battery pack.
This past Tuesday, May 3rd, was an amazing birding day in New York City. I spent most of the day in Central Park. There were many migrating birds. This gave me many photo ops – most of which were too difficult to get the shot.
But I got enough to please me like this beautiful Hooded Warbler. It does not get much better than this!
This beauty was a very cooperative subject all decked out in his breeding outfit!
This Warbler species showed up at both the New York Botanical Gardens and Prospect Park this weekend. I was able to capture the Prothonotary Warbler at the New York Botanical Gardens at the larger of the Twin Lakes. The Prothonotary Warbler in Prospect Park was on the Peninsula. It is interesting to note that at both locations there was a Yellow Warbler present.
Getting in shape for the warbler picture taking season!
