Title: Pretty good day in the Wet Woods: May 4th.

All of the species seen today have already been listed by other posters and it was nice to see seven different Warblers even though I missed two seen by others.

Nice perch on the first shot, the pussy willows add a lot to that image.I like them all Paul, but I keep coming back to the Cape May, really pretty.

A lovely set of pictures - there are two lifers for me in this set. Looks like I missed all the action in the Spit today. Ah well; hopefully, they will still be around next week-end.

Thanks Meghan. The BT Green was fairly cooperative and I got him easily but not so much for the Cape May. Although he stayed in the same area the entire time I was there it was thick Dogwood and he stayed buried deep inside the thickets. After waiting for 45 minutes or so he finally popped out into the open for a couple of seconds so I could get the shot.

Thanks Dinusaur. I'm not sure if the Cape May will hang around and I didn't relocate him in the afternoon but you should have lots of opportunities for BT Greens over the next little while.
