Winter Sunrise

Here are a few shots from the morning after a recent storm here in Barrington, NH. It pays to get up early!

It was puking warblers today.

So, in the snow sports world, it is common for a snowboarder or skiier to say " it was puking all day brah" which refers to heavy snow, a good thing. I would like to apply this cool/hip term to birding. So I would like to announce that today it was in fact puking warblers.

All these photos were taken within a half hour or so and I missed many species that just moved to fast.

American Redstart Female

Northern Paula

Prarie Warbler?

Blackburian Warbler

Chestnut Sided Warbler

Magnolia Warbler

Black Throated Green Warbler

Black Throated Green Warbler

Fall warblers thick and feeding! ID Help Needed

This morning I was out doing some scouting in Barrington, NH along some freshly cleared forest that will create early successional habitat in the next few years when I found myself buried in warblers. Very quickly I was able to count the following warblers:

Black-Throated Green
Yellow Rumped
American Red Start
Black and White
Yellow
Cheastnut Sided

also in the mix with the warblers
Chickadees
Tufted Titmouse
Catbirds
Goldfinches
Blue Jays
Crows

Most seem to be feeding on worms and insects

Not 100% sure on the species in the following 2 images, when the plumage changes from spring to Fall the birds can look VERY different. Any one have suggestiosn for the following 2 birds?

Not sure on this one, best guess is Adult Female Black-Throated Blue??

I can really use some help here on this one.
