Here are some more from the spring warbler migration through SE Wisconsin, including the elusive Connecticut Warbler and Yellow-breasted Chat. These were taken with 7D mkii, EF500 f4, and 1.4xiii.

I don't know which I should be more impressed with.... your photography skills or your birding skills...

NICE series....

Hi Jeremy.
Some excellent shots of some beautiful birds in exquisite detail, a must to view full size (not just squished on the forum page, that kills so much detail).

Cheers, Graham.

Hi jprusa.
Very nice shot, I think you got it right posting it in the bird section, if the grasshopper had caught the bird then the grasshopper section would have been more appropriate! ;D

Cheers, Graham.

Didn't know which to post in bird or grasshopper section :)

+1 (both on quality of the shot and choice of forum section :D )

Song Thrush high in a tree in the evening sun (7DmkII, 100-400mkII, 1.4mkIII)

It was singing very loud but still took me some time to locate it... camouflage doing its work ;)
Song may be louder than our resident blackbird, but the blackbird is a more creative singer :)

After finding one woodpeckers nest (see earlier post), apparently you're entitled to find more ;)

Just a few meters behind my back fence, high in a tree I discovered another nest. Unfortunately the young fled the nest a few days later when I was out at work :( (why do these employers insist that you work all days :o ;) )

Hi Wiebe.
A nice series of shots.
It amazes me how loud these (and much smaller) birds can be, and how they can remain completely hidden whilst doing so much to give away their position.
Employers insist we work so much so we can pay for our hobbies! ;D (and food etc of course!)

Cheers, Graham.
