Every spring, I see a lot of these warblers, both male and female. All three have all been in the Milwaukee area since 4/25, when we had favorable SW winds over the weekend. They showed in good numbers that early too. 4/26 was a big day for these three as warblers as well and I had 8 Nashville, 13 Tennessee and 45 Orange-crowned, including 2 of the gray-headed sub-species. These three continued to have a strong presence all the way through the spring migration and on 5/11, I had 47 Nashville, 31 Tennessee and 14 Orange-crowned. This was several days early for the huge Tennessee push and a week late for big numbers of Orange-crowned. Never a good sign to have that many Tennessee Warblers that early, because they represent the back end of migration. The photos below have been taken in the Milwaukee area since 4/25. Enjoy!

How wonderful that you got the Nashville warbler singing! And Image 1 of the Tennessee is breathtaking! All the color grading is perfectly shown. I think that is stunning!! Great photos. PS love the Blackburian and Cape May photos from previous post.
I love singing warblers, they are my favorite! I always try to get them singing. Thank you Karie!
