Went birding with my 10-year-old son today, and he spotted this kinglet in a tangle of brush.

I have a feeling if these were better quality photos, the bird ID would be more obvious to me, but alas, all the cool migrators were hiding in the brambles and treetops today. These were taken at Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary in Green Bay, WI today.

This pic was taken in Green Bay, WI today, where migration is in full swing. I don't think I have seen this bird passing through here before. Anyone know what it is?

This pic was taken today in Green Bay, WI. Is this a magnolia warbler with very pale markings or something else?

Oops, Green Bay, WI today. Thanks!

I'm trying to figure out what kind of vireo I've got on the left side of this picture. I'm confused by the brownish throat. Is this a Philadelphia vireo?

My yard has been full of warblers these past few years in the spring and fall (or maybe I'm just more aware of it since I got a better camera.) I have 15 warblers on my life list and 14 of them are from my own backyard. Oddly enough, of the 15, the one I haven't seen in my yard is the most common--yellow warbler!

Here are another couple of shots.

Taken in Green Bay, WI today -- at first I thought it was the female bay-breasted that's been hanging around in that tree, but this one has much more streaking on the breast.

Thanks, I was wondering if another one would come along. One of its traveling companions died in a window strike earlier today. 😢

My picture isn't the best, so I'm not sure what I've got here, but I do know that there is a huge mixed flock of warblers descending on my yard today. Taken in Green Bay, WI.

I'm wondering if the fall migration wave has begun in my yard. I spotted this bird flitting through my white cedar today (Green Bay, WI). I couldn't get a better picture because it was going quickly from branch to branch.

That makes sense as there were several of them nearby, but wow, they really change a lot as they get older!

Spotted in Milwaukee, WI two days ago

Looking through some old pics, I found this one, taken in August in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Anyone know what it is?
