Warblers Are on the Move:

Small pockets of warblers are being found locally as they migrate south for the winter. This Yellow-rumped Warbler was feeding on insects at the Point lands beside the St. Clair River. Many of the warblers have been difficult to photograph as they are staying at the tree tops.

A female Northern Cardinal flew out of a bush with a large, juicy caterpillar. She landed beside me on a branch, realized I was there and quickly departed with her prize.

A Carolina Wren family was raised nearby as we regularly hear them from our yard. This one even took a moment to pose for me!

I continue to see butterflies, although their numbers are down. Above is a Clouded Sulphur. I don't usually capture them with their wings open!

While watching for birds flying overhead in our backyard, we have also been witness to some beautiful cloud formations!
