Stunning images, as usual, Julie. Congrats on the Prothonotary Warbler! It's always so satisfying to capture a new life bird. Your images are just wonderful. It's a treat to see these great captures of so many birds and the Warblers are especially terrific. That Blackburian Warbler shot is just fabulous. And the last shot of the Sora is a great look at a bird that is often so secretive that it's hard to find a decent shot. A fantastic catch! Thanks for sharing your great images, Julie. A real treat, as always!
Wonderful Post, Julie! It's "stumbled"!
Stunning images Julie! Congrats on the lifer and especially like the Sora :)

Gorgeous collection, simply stunning :-)
Julie: I just burst out laughing at some of these. How do you do it??? You've outdone yourself--yet again. By the way, I meant to say this in my last comment--have a spectacular wedding. I wish you and your love all the joy and warmth that life can bring.
All beautiful--as usual! But the peek-a-boo Warbler shot was precious! :-)
WOW!
Spectacular set of images Julie!
Love them ALL!!!
Beautiful Julie!... all of them! I have really been wanting to see a Prothonotary Warbler for quite a while, finally did at North Pond last weekend :) LOVE your peek-a-boo capture! The Sora is amazing! I love spring migration.
Fantastic photos! Very impressive. My camera would take better photos if I would keep the darn thing dry. Stumbled across your blog and now a huge fan.
Absolutely breathtaking photos, Julie! Love that Yellow-rumped and the colors are so vivid and beautiful!
Nice Julie really nice. Like the Water Thrush my favorite. Beautiful
Lovely as always Julie. Do you have a spot where the warblers come down low? You always have such great songbird captures.
This is a primer on warblers. Must be great to be in the mid-west this time of year. So many gorgeous birds passing through. Great post.
You are all so very generous! I'm very appreciative of the especially kind remarks left on my blog. Thank you!
Elijah, no, there is not spot where the warblers come down low. I do spend a lot of time observing them and hope they will venture down to eye level so I can get a closer look. Every once in a while I get lucky.
Wow, Julie! So many wonderful, colorful shots of these gorgeous birds! Awesome stuff!
Awesome photographs! love every shot. great compo's and colors, i follow you. Great work! Greatz, aranka
Hello Julie,
Very nice pictures of all these special birds. It's amazing how you get them with their beautiful colors. Well done Julie!!
Greetings and a good Sunday,
Marco
Absolutely beautiful. Your birds are incredible. You have them well trained. ;>)
Hey Julie,
Your photos are stunning!! I'm pleased to tell you that you have WON the WBU contest on my blog. I couldn't find your email address in your profile, so when you get a chance email me at alan.pulleyATgmailDOTcom
Oh Julie, These are all spectacular photos. I feel I've been "educated" on warblers now. Such colorful little birds. A joy, as always, to drop by your post--I'm in awe of your photos. Mickie :)
WOW Julie, these are incredible photos! Absolutely love the Butter Butt singing photo.
Migration time seems to be "yellow time". Only two birds in this series don't have any yellow - even the Sora has a yellow beak.
Awesome photos as always!
Hi Julie, Can't believe you posted all this beauty nearly 10 days ago and I'm just now finding it. Wow, what a lot of great pictures! I think your photos are a good example of why I enjoy birding so much ... these little creatures are so fascinating and it's great to get to enjoy these wonderful captures. Thank you, as always, for sharing! John
Hi Julie. I nearly forgot to leave a 'Very well done' message ... too busy scanning back and forth through these fabulous images. One or two species I only ever saw in their 'fall' plumages so this was a real delight.
Have a super weekend. FAB.
Wow! We really need to find a way to publish these!
From Mr. V. ;)
Spectacular photoos i don't belive it they're lovely Congratulations !!!
Julie, Just came back by to see your great photos again. Feel free to post "often"--your followers would love to see more!!! Have a lovely weekend. Mickie :)
Oh My Gosh Julie...I don't know where to begin...every single image is exquisite! You seriously have to make a coffee table book! There's magic in your lens!
Too hard to pick a favorite!!
Hi Julie, I just came back for a second look at this post. You have some photos here that are contest winners, no doubt about it! Hope you have a great day. John
Wow, awesome warbler photos. They are all so colorful and pretty. Great shots and I just love the Sora too.
I love all your photos...
Really amazing images!!!
Regards Julie
Fantastic shots Julie! What wonderful sightings! I have only heard a sora so far this year and have not seen many warblers other than the ones I saw in Maine a few weeks ago. Bird life is quieting down in my backyard.
Wow - this was such a treat in looking at your photographs! Gorgeous, gorgeous! Loved that yellow warbler especially!
Wonderful series Julie. Well done!!
Schitterend!!!
Julie, wat een mooie vogels hebben jullie daar BEAUTIFULL!!!!
Lovely greeting,
Joke
wow, you hit the jackpot with all of these! I would love to see a Blackburnian again. I have only seen one once and what a shining throat!
Hi Julie :) I've been admiring your *beautiful* work via my friend, Linda! Your blog is truly awesome and I'm very happy to be following it now to grasp more precious glimpses of nature through your eyes :)
Best Wishes, Fiona :)
