Marvelous May - Part 2

I am currently back on Fogo Island -I am non-stop during the mornings - it is absolutely incredible! I have lots of downloading and organizing to do before I share from Fogo. Thankfully just before I left for this amazing adventure I had worked on teeing up several blog posts that I owe you…

I finally have the highlights together from the last half of May for you - it was just remarkable! I went day after day seeing more and more birds that had made their way to Franklin County - it was such a treat. Morning temps were great and I was on a roll - I hope that you enjoy…!

I had been hearing the gorgeous song of a Black and White Warbler… and he finally flew into this perfect spot!

One morning as I walked through the upper field at Bullit I heard the beautiful song of the Chestnut-sided Warbler… and he flew down and to my left…

A second after I snapped the shot of the Chestnut-sided Warbler I heard a Common Yellowthroat behind me and to my left… here he is greeting the morning!

One morning as I was heading to my car after my time at Bullitt… this stunning male Yellow Warbler stopped me dead in my tracks -

I kept hearing an Indigo Bunting.. and finally spotted him

I was standing looking at the small body of water at Bullitt when this guy flew in over me from behind and landed for a quick second - Broad-winged Hawk.

After a very long outing at Bullitt one morning I was heading to my car when this stunning male Baltimore Oriole came flying in!

To finish off my sightings from May - the Baltimore Oriole again…

What a treat it was to have the fields and woods filled with so much life - just so beautiful!
