I went to a local Wildlife refuge today hoping to catch the warbler migration still in full swing. Unfortunatly I think the peak was last weekend.

I thought I would share some of my best small bird shots from the day.

First I will show you the Orioles. I saw many of these, they love oranges, and grape jelly if you want to bait them in to shoot them.

And last but not least, a Yellow Throated Warbler

All in all, not perfect shots, but the fun is in taking them.

Thanks for looking.

Great set Brian. The small birds are way harder to get good pics of.
You did a great job.

A great set of images. I enjoyed the naming tutorial as well. My 5 yr old son likes your birds as well.
