Warblers of Paradise Pond

I have mentioned Paradise Pond in a couple of my previous posts. I was there in the spring of 2009, and would love to return in some future spring. Here is a collection of warblers that I photographed at Paradise Pond (not including the Wilson's Warbler that I shared a few posts back).

From top to bottom, the warblers are: Blackpoll, Yellow, Northern Parula, and Tennessee.

Just for comparison

This is the original photo that produced the first Northern Parula picture below.

Northern Parula

Here are a couple slightly fuzzy pictures taken today of a Northern Parula, a type of warbler. These were taken using the big 100-400 lens. They are fuzzy because I was not using a tripod, I had the lens extended out to 400mm and the bird seemed like it might be in Canada because it was so far away. The second picture shows an interesting color patch on the bird's back that you usually do not see. Northern Parula are usually in the tree tops so often all you see is their underside.
