B&W BOAS
by Luke Ormand
Black and White (warbler) Bird On A Stick. While conducting a site inspection at work, I checked out the headwaters of a local river in hope of finding some warblers. In this area, the vast majority of migrating warblers (particularly during fallouts) are further west in Nassau County and NYC (the concentrated parklands/watering holes makes them an attractive oasis for the birds). I was hoping for a little more action but was thrilled when I looked and this B&W warbler popped out from behind a tree and landed in front of me, flitting around briefly before heading off.

ISO 1000 (could have been lower, but the bird was hoping around in different backgrounds so I wanted to assure I get a sharp image)

5 commentsI observed one this past week, but no shot possible.. Also a Black-throated Green..
There's a relatively short window for these migrating species here in CT as you know.
Well done.
