I love spring migration! To the surprise and delight of birders and nature photographers, a rare bird, the Kirtland's Warbler, visited Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary in Chicago for two days in May.
Below are a series of photographs taken during the 2015 spring season.

Hey Julie,
What a wonderful post. Great all these different kind of birds.
They are really fantastic with their beautiful colors and so special to see for me. I really enjoy this.
Many greetings,

Wonderful post, beautiful shots of all the birds and what a collection!
Geweldig om zoveel mooie gekleurde vogels bij elkaar te zien.
You keep outdoing yourself; a stunning series of spring migrants.
Hello... National Geographic! :)
my goodness, always a pleasure to see a post from you! you get a wide variety of warblers, there and take smashing photos of them to share with us!
These photos are spectacular! I am so jealous of the beautiful birds you can capture in your neck of the woods. Metro Vancouver is a great place to do birding, but we lack some of the more spectacular warblers and finches seen east of the Rockies.
Just gorgeous, Julie!
Julie, I need to learn from you. One of the most difficult birds for me to photograph are the warblers. I think they are such pretty birds but they are so difficult. These pics are sharp and wonderful! The Kirtland's is a real treat! Congrats!
Dearest Julie,
Quite amazing indeed for being able to capture such a wide variety of warblers. The combination with fresh and lush green makes your photos brilliant!
Hugs to you,
Mariette
