This post is a Celebration of Early Spring, a time during which I had to step away from my Sacred Place here at WP.
My camera, my saving grace has been seeing quite the action, especially during the time I was not here. I didn’t go far from home due to the intensity of my routine. Yet when conditions assured me it would be OK to leave the house, I went to a park participating in one of my Great Adventures that takes place early Spring. I love, adore, cherish Warblers and photographing these tiny birds brings to the forefront a sense of challenge and thrill. They are minute in size, extremely fast, and they do not tend to be still for long. If they do allow you the time to even get to your camera you must act quickly. To me, seeing Warblers is a sure sign ahhhhhhh Spring has sprung.
One day when the home environment was quiet, I chose to visit a park with the hope I’d find some Warblers. Indeed I did! Not as many varieties and numbers as in previous years for it seemed they chose to nest and eat on the other side of the creek where [of course] no path existed. Perhaps they had deliberately gone where they could avoid loud humans. Unfortunately, most have yet to understand Mother and Her Creations deserve respect by being quiet while visiting their home. I felt happy for those Warblers who ditched humanity this year for the sake of solitude. For a photographer however, any Warbler no matter where seen, that shot will be taken. Being picky goes out the window and fast knowing that those darn birds are on the other side of the creek, a creek you cannot cross.
Today I am showing you some Warblers I found. I have not put identification on them. Many if not most I know the names of but I prefer to just view them for who they are, not because of their name. They to me are gorgeous, perfect reflections of the Divinity found in Mother inviting us to step into another world for us to encounter. Please do enjoy the following created by me and my camera in early May of this year.
“Being picky goes out the window and fast” …. At least I tried …. (LOL)

Welcome back! And yes, they do seem difficult to capture (from the looks of the last few shots). But love them anyway!

Beautiful pics! Even the “misses.” The one where the warbler has its wings by its side while in flight seems otherworldly… or at least to defy physics 💜 it!

Thank you, Tim! I’m glad you stopped by. I commented on your charging gadgets post but I did not see my comment and you usually answer what I wrote. Could very possibly be I ended in spam again. Or yet. Or something.

Oh Amy, these warbler photos are magnificent! How lucky for you to have them visit you in the spring and how skillful of you to capture these. I can give you a little help with the identification. The yellow warbler is in photos #5 and 12. Photo #2 looks like your blue jay to me with his crest down? Palm warbler in photos #1, 7, 8 and 15. And all the rest look like male or female yellow-rumped warblers. Thanks for the spring delights.
