There are lots of online courses like Ray’s. Ray’s work is lovely. Much nicer to go in person. I did a couple of Warbler workshops in NJ years ago and stayed over night. I think it was with PEEK.
Ray responded that he’s booked (I guess some folks were less worried about COVID-19 than I was) until July. The north jersey warbler workshops only go to June. It’s a bit rough managing the Type 1 diabetes and a long early morning drive to south jersey for shore birds. It seemd I’ll have to wait for spring 2021.
The black-throated blue warbler is completely new to me. I’ve never heard of it — but what a lovely bird! It must have been wonderful to be out, and to see so many beautiful birds.
Great shots, Sherry! 🙂
I have a Warbler Birdstone made by Native Americans in Michigan 4,000 years ago, which shows that they too were very appreciative of Warblers. (I’ll post it sometime.)
I did not get to do my migratory bird photography workshops this spring. All the New Jersey state and county wildlife preserves were closed. 😢
Today I contacted the photographer, Ray Hennesey, to see what we can do now that restrictions are relaxed.

My husband, Marc, is diabetic too. He takes snacks along for a long drive. I hope to go birding a bit this fall. This spring has been a wipe out.

Thanks you so much. One good thing about being sick for a while is I didn’t mind being at home.

They are quite common here. We call the white wing marking a pocket handkerchief. Verry smart.

I saw the crowds at the park this weekend — keeping their distance, of course.

We chose not to go on a weekend. The fair weather brought everyone out. 6-9 am Monday in the Ramble was almost empty.
