Beautiful Yellow Warblers will soon flutter about the marsh area at the back of our property
I've already spotted many American Robins hopping through the grass seeking sustenance
Tiny Ruby-crowned Kinglets are always a delight to observe
Pretty Yellow-rumped Warblers will soon fill the trees
One of the most lovely birds I have ever seen ~ Blackburnian Warbler
This stunning Prothonotary Warbler was a life bird for me last year
The the high-pitched song of Common Yellowthroats will soon fill the marsh
Rusty capped Palm Warblers will be passing through on their way to Canada
I am looking forward to the arrival of diminutive Ruby-throated Hummingbirds during the month of April
Resplendent Black-throated Green Warblers briefly visit the Chicago area during spring migration
Eastern Bluebird ~ We already have a few bluebird couples checking out several of the nest boxes on our property ~ Last year, one pair raised three successful broods in the same nest box

Hi Julie
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection of warblers. Hopefully they will all stop there soon on their way up here.
Guy
Yep!....Yep!....Good to see these again! :-) And WOW! Is Spring that close for real?!...Although, in our area, it's been sorta like an unusually early Spring already!...but without the birds and flowers. I saw my first robins in the backyard recently though, so here comes Spring!...for real this time! ^_^
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Julie! The Prothonotary and Blackburnian are both at the top of my list to see. I'm really looking forward to you spring photos these next few months.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie, I am so impressed with your Beautiful bird photos. I don't know how you get these birds to pose for you, but they are just so beautifully photographed. The Yellow Warbler is my favorite of your photos. Well done.
ReplyDeleteBeau-ti-ful! Your photos are amazing. I rarely have favorits when looking at your posts because they are all so good. The clarity and definition are terrific. I too am waiting for the spring birds to arrive.
ReplyDeleteHello Julie,
ReplyDeleteThese shots are really great!!
Fantastic to see all these different birds with there amazing colors. They are very special and you've caught them very well in your shots.
This is enjoyment Julie, my compliments!!
I'm glad that spring comes.
Much greetings,
Marco
Oh they are all my neighbors as well and they are beginning to return. In fact I had a Yellow -rumped Warbler visit the other day...so delightul they are. I have seen the Bluebirds off and on all winter, but they are getting busy too. Beautiful post!
ReplyDeletei can't wait for more birds to come to the backyard too!! great pictures Julie! i've been watching a pair of cardinals flying around together, the male feeding the female. They're too cute!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a beautiful little birds. So beautiful in color and pretty sharp. Here in the Netherlands we do not have this beautiful colored birds in the wild. Truly a wonderful series.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Helma
Magnificent photos Julie. You captured a lot of wonderful and tough to photo birds. I can't wait to see some warblers myself.
ReplyDeleteI can certainly see why you are excited for spring! Amazing collection of photos; absolutely beautiful! I love the variety of warblers!
ReplyDeleteMost of these birds are the same ones I am looking forward to seeing.Your pictures are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThe warblers are amazing, I would like some of them to visit me too.
ReplyDeleteDearest Julie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat is your blog with its outstanding photos!
We can be envious for your variety of beautiful warblers. But at least we do have quite a variety of birds on our property as we provide the perfect habitat for them.
Love to you,
Mariette
I always look forward to your posts, Julie. Beautiful shots! Hope you have lots of opportunity to enjoy these birds again this year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of birds, all are too awesome.
ReplyDeleteWonderful warblers!
ReplyDeleteWhat really lovely photos of such beautiful birds! I tried to pick a favourite but it was impossible. The Yellow Warbler reminds me a little of our Yellowhammer and the Blackburnian Warbler is just exquisite. I have started to recognise quite a lot of birds from other countries through blogging but have never come across that one before. How I wish we had Hummingbirds here, such incredible little birds!
ReplyDeleteYour Robin of course is entirely different to ours, so much bigger and related by nothing but name ;-)
Isn't Spring a wonderful season? So much to look forward to and with all those lovely birds to see, I am not surprised you are looking forward to it!
Obrigada por compartilhares este fantástico olhar. Um registo do patrimônio daqueles que preservam.
ReplyDeleteRecebe um abraço.
As always, a great collection of images, Julie ... lovely work!
ReplyDeleteDearest Julie,
ReplyDeleteToday I've posted the national bird from Curaçao that I captured on camera. You will love it I guess, even though I'm NOT competing with your ability as a photographer. But there is more to it than some great photos; the personal joy and satisfaction of seeing with your own eyes such magnificent bird!
Love to you,
Mariette
Beautiful shots of beautiful birds !
ReplyDeleteExiting to see all those birds, come of them I have never seen. Thanks for sharing these great images.
ReplyDeleteHello Julie

ReplyDeleteHi Julie, I can only daydream about spotting lovely little birds such as these.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured some amazing photos of these colorful fellows and created a beautiful blog.
Thanks for your kind comment and following my blog. Have a delightful weekend.
cheers,
Pam :)
Hi Julie, Another amazing post here! What I really love about your birding photos is the way you have composition, lighting, and focus so perfectly woven together. What a wonderful picture of the Rusty capped Palm Warbler. And your photo makes the naming of the bird so evident! I've never seen a Prothonotory Warbler ... your perfect shot will probably be as close as I'll get. And the tiny Ruby-crowned Kinglet ... just a beauty! As always, thank you for sharing, and thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such wonderful comments. Best regards to you and yours, John
ReplyDeleteHello dear friend.

ReplyDeleteAmazing photos and beautiful birds. i am looking forward to seeing the warblers return. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love all these shots. Absolutely beautiful blog post, as always!
ReplyDeleteOs pássaros adoçam as ideias. Os olhares desafiam-se, por entre a cintilação das penas. O gosto pela fotografia espelha-se aqui.
ReplyDeleteCada click é um sonho, cada pena um sorriso.
Sente-te vencedora. Bons momentos.
Abraços.

Hola Julie espectaculares fotografias.Un abrazo
ReplyDeleteLovely images! I especially love the warblers. These are just fantastic, as always.
ReplyDeleteJulie, your photographs are outstanding!! What lovely, lovely birds you have!! Love the yellow warbler...so gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteGood read & great pictures thanks for sharing. I have bookmarked the page it is too good to have.
ReplyDeleteJulie, You're close to winning the "nicest person in the world" award again ! Thanks for all your lovely comments--I truly appreciate them. Fun to scroll through your great bird shots again too--such excellent photography. Hope you have time to go out and take some more soon-- your followers are all waiting patiently for a new post from you. We've had some beautiful Spring weather here in Kansas except for the tornado that tore through Wichita Saturday night. Hundreds of huge pine and deciduous trees uprooted--better trees than people though. Enjoy the day. Mickie :)
ReplyDeleteOh what beauties! I am looking forward to seeing some of these myself this year. I saw my first palm warbler of the season at the park the other day but did not have my camera in hand! too bad! your photos are always so delightful! I bet you are looking forward to capturing some new shots this year! Birding is so much fun, isn't it! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures ...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos of spring visitors Julie. I've been pretty much offline for a few weeks, and I'm happy that I didn't miss these!!
ReplyDeleteHow DO you get such great photos of warblers? They are the hardest for me to shoot (with my camera, of course). They just flit around so much. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful collection of spring birds, good luck for the springbirding season! Linda
