Spring Migrants

While on a recent look along the river while checking to see if the American Dipper was still around ( it is ) I found these two new birds for the year.
A Myrtle race Yellow-rumped Warbler & a Hermit Thrush.
I was wondering when they'd show up and now, more should start appearing every day...

Yellow-rumped Warbler

You certainly have some interesting birds over there Nick.
The Yellow-rumped Warbler is a beauty, with that gold blaze.

Your photos are lovely. I really like your Yellow-rumped Warbler. I saw our last Hermit Thrush on Saturday. He was probably getting ready to head north that evening!

You have a couple of beautiful photos here on this post. Nice to see them for the first time.

Oops (multitasking failure!) I meant to say the Hermit Thrush. I can rarely even spot these guys with the binoculars let alone capture an image with the camera! Well done!

Both of these birds have just recently arrived at our place.

Awesome pictures, I have taken some nice photo's of the Hermit Thrush as well in the last few weeks. I also have a photo blog if you'd like to check it out, from Manitoba
