I was very excited when we found the first neo-tropical migrating birds yesterday . Several Yellow-rumped Warblers used the warm sun and caught little insects in the bushes and small trees at the Deere Marsh by the Mississippi River. I didn’t take the tripod with me but got some sharp pictures by handholding the heavy NIKON D750 / SIGMA 150-600 S combo.
Today I tried my luck again, went out with the tripod this time, but didn’t find a single bird. The access trail to the dyke and marsh is flooded at the moment but this photo was made right next to the small parking lot. For tomorrow the forecast shows rain again…
To all readers and followers of my blog, Happy Passover / Happy Easter, stay safe!
