Magnolia Warbler @ Great Falls

lovely eye-ring

Had a wonderful walk with the regular crew (Marshall, Donald, Ralph, Keith, Ed, Chris & Chris, as well as Yurim, Maria, and a few others) at Great Falls this past Sunday. Warblers were in abundance, and we were lucky to have a photo op with one special little Magnolia Warbler. Below are a few pics, provided here mostly for close study but also because it's just such a beautiful bird. Maggies have quickly become one of my favorites migrants.

(One note: Unfortunately, unlike Common Yellowthroats, Maggies seem to be impervious to my pishing.)
