Kentucky Warbler
August is a pretty lousy month for warblers in my area. It seems that adult warblers that breed in my area migrate south around
the 1st of August but species that breed farther north don't come through until nearly September. The only thing left is ratty looking
juveniles. This image was from yesterday morning. I'm supposedly in the northern part of their breeding range but I've never seen
one during the breeding season. I've only seen them during spring and fall migratory periods. I have an area of brush in front of a
tree line that attracts quite a few migratory warblers that I frequent this time of year. I spotted this bird early in the morning and it
took me nearly two hours of stalking to get an image out of the brush black hole that is behind the bird. I tried audio but it just doesn't
work very well this time of year. I had to remove one fairly significant OOF branch.
