Finally, Some Warblers - 30 Sep 2025

Finally, some warblers. After several outings this week without seeing a single bird to photograph I found a small flock of warblers at Elizabeth Park in Trenton, MI. At the junction of three trails next to the maintenance yard I found a flock of mostly Ruby-crowned Kinglets but managed to spot this Black-throated Green Warbler within camera range.
 







A Blue-headed Vireo appeared close enough to photograph, as well. It never stayed still.





Merlin picked up a Yellow-throated Vireo, and I managed to see one briefly, but had to settle for this cooperative Tennessee Warbler at eye-level foraging among the privet berries.











A small flock of Nashville Warblers then appeared and gave me slightly better images at many different angles.

















Finally, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet made an appearance ever-so-briefly.


The rest of the trails were quiet. I hiked the creek bed in the wooded understory and managed a quick photo of an Eastern Chipmunk in very low light.
