Yes, I went with him to the Texas hill country last year and was very successful. I’ve always wanted to do this so here I go!

Incredible shots, everyone!
My wife and I are heading to Point Pelee during the May 24th weekend. Any tips with photographing these little guys? I usually shoot larger birds/animals, so I think I'll have to tweak my approach. I'll be using a D850 + 1.4 TC + 500mm f4G, but also have a 300mm 2.8 VRI available.

All I've seen so far are Yellow-rump, Yellowthroat, Orange-crowned and Wilsons. I'm on a mission this weekend to find some Townsend and Black-throated Grey which I know are around now. Yellow warblers should be here soon. We don't get much else on the west coast of Canada. MacGillivray's is the only other one but I don't see them often.

High Island?
No, a private piece of land in Galveston famous for the number of migrant species that stop there.
Nice to finally see a shot that actually captures the birds namesakeAll I've seen so far are Yellow-rump, Yellowthroat, Orange-crowned and Wilsons.

Was out this morning, and it’s like a switch got thrown on spring migration. Quantity of warblers has tripled, and a good number of other bird species have shown up. Compared to just a couple of days ago, it’s a whole new ballgame.
Despite there being a ton of Yellow Warblers, they’re proving to be a challenge for me to photograph well. They just refuse to come down to eye level, and on the rare occasion they do, magically there’s a twig perfectly in the way.

today's warblers at Point Pelee included Blackburnian, Yellow, Prothonotary,Black-throated Green and Hooded.
Really an outstanding image!
Check out the Help & How To tab at the top of the forum page................
I can actually see the orange crown! Very nice image. Here in Puget Sound we are seeing the same and the yellow warblers are just arriving. I was lucky to have a Townshend’s at my feeder over the Winter but it is gone now.All I've seen so far are Yellow-rump, Yellowthroat, Orange-crowned and Wilsons.

Great shot! question: Are you filling the frame or you crop it?

I went to Rondeau provincial park yesterday which is close to Point Pelee. I saw Magnolia, Yellow, Black and White, Yellow_rump, and numerous kinglet.
I took this at 1000mm with the M43 format, the equivalent angle of view of 2000mm full frame. It filled the frame pretty much.
Saw/heard Nashville Warblers today, and tons of Yellows. Local reports of some Blackburnian, which I should get a chance to find later today if the weather holds!
Edit: which, of course, it didn’t
Sure it’ll be plenty nice tomorrow while I’m at work.

We don't get most of our warbers in Nova Scotia till mid- to late- May. We have had cold temperatures and easterly winds for the last week, but I have so far managed 3 - Yellow -rumped ("Myrtle"), Palm and Pine.

Ah, I used to live in Galveston. Just curious.
Stevenson Woods. You have to book with Trogon Tours or Alan Murphy. I highly recommend Trogon as he is about half the cost as Murphy and has excellent tours.
