I don’t know what this is. It looks bigger than a yellow rumped warbler. It was bathing at the fountain. Could it be a female American redstart? It looks like one from the Stokes Birding Guide. If so, it’s my first one.
Orange eating an orange. Baltimore oriole at one of the fruit feeders.
I think this is a wood thrush. He was sitting on the bottom of the fountain.
My first and only indigo bunting shot. I saw a few others from really far away but this was the only one that got close to us at the fountain.
Starling taking a bath.
I was told this is a yellow warbler. This was my first sighting of one. I agree with Deb’s comment on this one. It looks more like a female hooded warbler than a yellow one. It’s still a lifer either way.
About a tenth of the crowd that was gathering at the mulberry woods at Fort Desoto. There’s a small open field with a short stone fountain in the middle. Everyone was standing around waiting for birds to land on the fountain. I only had my long lens that morning so I could only get a small smattering of the crowd that was there.
I can say I was there! Two weekends during the 2012 spring migration at Fort Desoto. I met tons of people. Learned a lot of new little birds. And took thousands of bad pictures. Ron at Pinellas Birds said the week before Memorial Day that it was winding down. There were still a few late migraters coming through though so I’ll still head out and keep my eyes open. Now I can’t wait until fall migration.

Lots of adorable birds, Dina, but that soaking wet starling gets my vote. Wonderful!

Yes to the female Redstart, and the yellow Warbler, and maybe to the Wood Thrush if the spots go all the way down his chest, which I think they do. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Wonderful group of birds!
beautiful birds.
Wow, those are beautiful photos most especially that first one! I love it. Your orioles’ color is much different than ours, which is yellow with red beak. I invite you to see it at least for comparison, in my other site. http://www.abagillon.blogspot.com
the ‘yellow warbler ‘ looks like a female Hooded Warbler to me… just sayin’….
Wow what a spectacular event to witness. Terrific bird photos
Great shots and my fav is the Baltimore oriole.Have a great day!

You got some terrific shots!
Great collecton!
A wonderful series of shots! Beautiful birds!
The water/fountain really attracts them, I need to improve on my water source for sure. Love all the pictures and video!
Awsome post, – perfect for WBW!
Great photos. I especially like the orange colored bird eating the orange fruit.
Fantastic images… so lovely to see.
yes on female redstart, yes on female hooded warbler. You can see the sketchy black hood line, yellow warblers more yellow all over, also she is lacking the chestnut streaks on breast that the yellows here have. Love the oriole enjoying the orange.
what a beautiful group of images!! i really enjoyed the “bathers”!! looks like you have answers to your questions on the i.d.’s from this great group of world birders!!
You have some gorgeous birds, Dina! Love the colors of the oriole and bunting! Fantastic shots at the bath!
Hi there – apart from the starling, they would ALL be lifers! Nice post and pictures.

You sure got some wonderful shots and wow, I thought that Indigo Buntings were much darker, all are just beautiful!
Lovely shots, Dina! I agree your yellow warbler is a female hooded warbler. You are lucky! I have yet to see one.
Migration in the east….its so good! The others are right about the Redstart and the Hooded Warbler…I think the thrush (pictured) is actually a Swainson’s; it has much browner spots than the bird in your video (obviously a Wood Thrush).
