During the northern migration, wherever you live, find small streams protected from the wind. Often you will find early bug hatches, and if you are able to find this kind of location, chances are warblers during their journey north will find same. Such was the case this morning at Hartley Nature Center in Duluth. I had warblers by the dozens flitting all around me, often landing within two feet of my face. These birds were hungry, and a human who was standing in the stream bed was not going to deter these hungry birds. From this morning.

I spent yesterday (Thursday) at the Chequamegon Birding Festival in Ashland. Amazing day and I would recommend getting on their mailing list for next year. Ashland at the Great Lakes Visitors Center. I had four life-listers before 10am.
Great photos, Rich. Greg G.

Great photos Rich. We went to wild valley rd and saw magnolia warblers and one we haven’t seen before a Golden winged warbler hanging around the creek.
Just love those colorful, cheering little birds! Thanks for all the pics. Our latest treat was the indigo bunting. And Orioles & hummers here in central WI.
What sweet little birds. Thanks for sharing😊
