According to believers of the Big Bang Theory, after Victoria Day weekend there should be very few migratory warblers left to see within the GTA and yet I'm finding enough of them to make going out to look worthwhile. As expected, many of the warbler are now females.  I had hoped to get a chance to photograph a Blackpoll warbler before it's all over, having seen only one so far, for sure.  I had also hoped to find a Wilson's warbler and that happened this morning ... a single Wilson's warbler, low down, not too far away, concealed by a bush, but wait ... any second now ... and here come dog walkers in both directions.  Wilson's gone!  End of story.  Also saw: Tennessee x 1,  Am. Redstart x 6,  Yellow x 1,  Magnolia x 5,  Red-eyed vireos (many), Warbling vireo x 3, Least flycatcher x1,  Yellow-bellied flycatcher x 1,  Great-crested FC x1 + heard many.  There were probably other warbler species high in the trees but out-of-reach for photo.  Besides, my right eye has been blurred all morning due to my eye meds and that is my dominant eye and the one that looks through the viewfinder.  It's no pleasure focusing on something that remains blurred.  I may try again tomorrow and hope its the left eye that acts up.
