A huge THANK YOU to Steve Lubahn for posting the sighting of the Hooded
Warbler at Estabrook Park yesterday.  After searching an area and heading
home I realized I went to the wrong spot.  I debated going home - 6 straight
full days of birding and very tired, but decided to give it a shot and
headed back to correct parking area.  Literally within 2 minutes I had the
bird and watched it for an hour feeding, preening, dozing off at times.
After the most amazing 2 days of photographing spring migrants I ever had
this was the cherry on the cake.  Steve - I owe you dinner my friend!!!!

Here are just a couple of shots that I had time to process.  More to come
including a whole gallery dedicated to Warblers in Lake Park.  I ended up
with 24 species of Warbs on Saturday and added 3 more yesterday for a total
of 27 plus many many other birds.  Hope a few stick around this week and I
hope my camera is not worn out :)
