3 Good Days @ Magee Marsh
I spent 3 days at Magee pursuing warblers last Mon-Wed. Mon & Tue were pretty good w/ Wed being a little slower. Unfortunately I had to get home Wed PM & I missed what was supposed to be a great morning on Thur. That is a wonderful place right here in the midwest that attracts birders from around the world in late April & May. You never know what is going to show up. The warblers are the main attraction but there are a lot of other avian subjects depending upon you interest. Here are the only 2 I have had a chance to process so far. The 1st is a female northern parula & the 2nd a chestnut-sided warbler. All C&C welcome.

Wow! looks like you had some great subjects. Nice crisp shots. What did you use to shoot these?

Very nicely done, on both shots.

Very impressive!

Both great shots. Think I like the pose in the first, but getting them to cooperate may be difficult. Nice light and great detail.

Thanks for the comments. Philip, both shots were with a Canon 1D Mark IIN & 500 f4 IS w/ a 1.4 telextender & 25mm extension tube attached.

Beautiful images, Kirk. Thanks for adding the techs. My only nit is that I would crop a bit from the top of the first image so the branch isn't ending just below the edge of the frame.
