A discovery Maybe this shouldn't be admitted, but despite hiking in the woods all of my life I was not aware of the variety of small and beautiful birds that are present on the East Coast until just recently, such as the blackburnian warber, the cape may warbler, the Tennessee warbler, the common yellowthroat, the bay-breasted warbler, the magnolia warbler, the white-eyed and blue-eyed vireo, etc.

Over the course of one weekend on a kayak on a tiny Adirondack Pond I saw all of those species, and the one depicted, the black and white warbler. (No mystery how it got its name.) I tried to capture as many images of them as possible, but they are so challenging - they are small, move quickly and rarely give you a clean shot in a nice setting. Of all of the warblers, I saw this one the least, only for a minute or so. Yet it is my preferred image from the lot.

Looking forward to many years of trying to find, identify and capture these tiny birds. I now have a substantial appreciation for those who are able to create beautiful images of them.

2 ducklings As promised, more of the ring-necked ducklings.

The 2-duckling version is my favorite, despite having the fewest ducklings in the capture, because they are not both going in the same direction. They finally became somewhat comfortable with my presence that they were not looking for an immediate escape route.
