On a couple of recent visits to Kissena Corridor Park I have really enjoyed watching wood-warblers against the backdrop of autumn. Though the birds’ colors are muted from their gaudy spring finery the fiery colors of fall more than make up for what the birds lack.
Anyway, here are three shots I feel pretty happy about and thought I would share – if you feel so inclined please feel free to share some links to your autumn wood-warbler pictures in the comments.
Yellow-rumped Warbler Setophaga coronata
Palm Warbler Setophaga palmarum
Black-throated Blue Warbler Setophaga caerulescens

He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.
What a splendid Palm Warbler. Good shot
