Magee Marsh - Friday May 9, 2014

This was my first time at Magee Marsh for the Biggest Week of Birding.  I have seen pictures of the crowded boardwalk and the crowded parking lot but just never imagined how intense it gets out there. This was definitely worth taking a couple of days off from work for. 

Here is what I managed to get photos of:

 

American Red-start

 

Baltimore Oriole

 

Black and White Warbler

 

Blackburnian Warbler

 

Black-throated Blue Warbler (female)

 

Black-throated Blue Warbler (male)

 

Black-throated Green Warbler

 

Blue-headed Vireo

 

Cape May Warbler

 

Chestnut-sided Warbler

 

Gray-cheeked Thrush

 

Least Flycatcher

 

Magnolia Warbler

 

Mourning Warbler

 

Northern Parula

 

Nashville Warbler

 

Ovenbird

 

Red-eye Vireo

 

Warbling Vireo

 

Wilson Warbler (not very good photo but good for ID)

 

Yellow Warbler

 

Yellow-rump Warbler

 

Canada Warbler (not a good photo but good for ID)

 

A few others photographed but shown: Woodcock (nesting), Rose-breasted Grosbeak (male & female), Gray Catbird and the Bald Eagle.

 

Next stop Detroit Zoo.
