American Kestrel
Ditto
Western Tanager (thank you, Pi Guy!)
Virginia's Warbler
Wilson's Warbler
No worries - this bird is being released, it's not dead.
Now, when the bird banding guy gets excited, you know it must be a big deal. He said he only sees the Blackpoll Warbler about once every ten years. And he's been doing this for a very long time.
You can see more WW photos here, here, and here.
Oh those last two pictures are just wonderful. They are all great, but those ones really strike me as beautiful.

What fantastic pictures each one of them !!!
ReplyDeleteOne certainly doesn't get to see these species this side of the globe !!
So lovely...yet, I'm so afraid for them because they look so frail. Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so amazing... to be that up close to all those exquisite birds - and to capture them on film so beautifully. Wow. Thanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteCan't chose my best here. Every photos are wonderfully framed.Amazing shots!
ReplyDeleteI got to watch a guy band birds at Chincoteague Island last summer. It was fascinating. The entire process...but especially the way the birds got weighed: head first into an empty toilet paper roll and put on the scale. You can see posts of that in my 2007 blog archives...September, I think. Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!!

Amazing! I was privileged to see biologists banding birds years ago in West Texas. I would love to do that again.
ReplyDeleteThat first picture looks like the bird is kissing his nose! :)

ReplyDeleteWow, these are some incredible shots. I'm so late getting here and commenting. Keep up the great work.

ReplyDeleteVery cool! We have been seeing lots of baby birds around here starting to leave their nests. I just wish I was better at figuring out what kind of birds they are!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, Dianne!
