Black-throated (Blue and Green) Warblers

[Rubberhead]

Sorry for the marginal shots of exceptional birds: The EXIF data should be intact:

Black-throated green warbler from the same day, and about the same place:

Wow, these are very rare, at least in POTN Birds forum!:D
Nice captures RH. I especially like #1, great pose. Love its black mask and blue head.

Wonderful birds to see and even better to get a shot. You get extra points just for seeing these guys. They are beautiful.

I was lucky to photograph both species in the Fall of 2005. I have not seen either at all this year....so far.

Good find. Don't see many of these particular birds often, though I have seen a couple on here before (Dennis captured one if I remember)
These are excellent for colours, nice pose in the first shot, well done.

WOW fantastic birds and great shots!

These are not easy to capture. Very well done indeed. :-)

Well done, RH. I'd never even heard of these before.

Batten down those hatches - there's gonna be a storm! :)

Nice shots of these hard to see warblers.

Very good captures Rubberhead. I hope I can find em here in FL.

Thanks for posting these. Great to see these rare birds. I really like the Black-throated Blue Warbler.
