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.

Since my last post a few more of my favorite birds have trickled in and sang for me. Although I have been really busy still have a little timer here and there to listen and look for birds. The red eyed Vireo I photographed yesterday was very unique. I literally brought my laptop outside when I heard one singing behind my house, I played its song from my favorite bird website and with in 20 seconds a pair of vireos cam flying down to investigate. That's how I got such a fine photo of such an elusive bird.

I like to keep it simple when I'm outdoors and not bring a lot of gadgets, but this was remarkable. This might actually be a reason to finally get a smart phone...but only for this!
