Some type of yellow bird high up in the trees.
My first black throated blue warbler.
There were several of them at the park.
I think this is a female cape may.
A female orchard oriole.
My first blackpoll warbler with a berry in his mouth.
Another blackpoll getting ready to eat.
My second sighting of a cape may warbler.
Another female something?
Spring migration was winding down but I had heard there were still a few more birds at Fort Desoto so I headed down there after work one night in late April. I had about an hour and a half before dark so I stayed in one place to see what I could find there. I was at the mulberry bushes with several other people. Everyone was looking for the black whiskered vireo that had been sighted there for several days. No luck that night on the vireo but I did get some other first sightings in. There were several pale yellow birds there and everyone had different opinions about what female they were. After studying the hundreds of pages of these female warblers in my Stokes Birding Guide, I gave up. Any id’s would be appreciated.

You must have been there at lunch time. So nice to see them feeding in the wild rather than at feeders. Love the black throated warbler in the mulberry tree.
Such great shots. I really like the oriole.
handsome bunch! not any i’ve seen.
Congratulations on capturing these lovely birds.
Great series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Very good bird photos. Nice to see!
Dina, that is a lovely selection of Warblers.
I’m fairly certain that your final image is also a female Cape May Warbler .. the pale/white edge to the median coverts (just visible) is quite diagnostic for an adult female.
I read that a black throated blue was seen in our area…but I never spotted it. Color me green with envy.
Beautiful photographs. I love the photos of the birds feeding. You have patience, real patience!! Very, very well done!
Nice ones! The cape may warbler is so pretty!
A great day for warblers….. well done with the new ones, and agree with others the Cape May is lovely
Wonderful images….
A great series of lovely birds.
Pretty warblers and great shots, Dina!
you got such wonderful varied photographs of differing birds; I love all of them
Lovely shots of the cute little birds.
Everybird is wonderful! The blackpoll with the berry is priceless.
