I did not take this photo of a black-throated blue warbler (it’s from Wikimedia) but this gives you an idea of how close the warblers were at Magee Marsh Boardwalk on Thursday evening 8 May. I drove home yesterday before The Biggest Week in American Birding got fully underway, but I can tell you that attendees will have great looks at beautiful birds on the Boardwalk this coming week.
Meanwhile I saw a few other things last week including this rain-touched golden ragwort at Brush Creek in Beaver County, PA.
At Pearson Metropark, Toledo on 8 May: Wild geranium, jack-in-the-pulpit and starry false Solomon’s seal.
The sky was cool at the end of the day.
And in Jeff Cieslak tradition, I’ll show you that my car reached a milestone on 8 May 2025. My Prius is 15 years old.
Sounds like a wonderful time!
Just plain lovely, and you included my childhood favorite, The Jack in the Pulpit! Thank you, Kate. Did you see the Google Doodle today celebrating World Migratory Bird Day?
I didn’t see the doodle… and then it was gone.
