I stopped at Wehr Nature Center this morning in hopes there was still some warbler action going on. There was and many warblers were present in the time I was there. Warblers species seen this morning were Prothonotary, Bay-breasted, Northern Parula, Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Common Yellowthroat, Wilson’s, Yellow-rumped, Canada, Magnolia, Black-and-white, American Redstart and the Mourning. The Prothonotary Warbler bathed for a few minutes which was quite exciting to watch. It was a nice morning with pleasant temps, no rain as it was predicted, and low winds. Images were taken on May 19, 2019.

Beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing them.
Beautiful! It helps to see these, to help identify warblers. But also nice to see the prothonatary warbler bathing. It’s a rare sight.
Always enjoy your exceptional photos.
These gems of spring reward us for enduring another Wisconsin winter. Thanks, Jim!
WOW, once again…
Wonderful Jim! What a great season it’s been!!
