Today’s bird photos were sent in by Vanderbilt Law Professor Suzanna Sherry, but were taken by her husband, Paul Edelman. She adds this note:
Because it’s migration time, we’re getting a lot of birds we don’t often see in Tennessee. I especially like the Chestnut-sided warblers (Setophaga pensylvanica). These were all taken in Radnor State Park, which is a lovely oasis in the middle of Nashville. All were taken with a Nikon D-500 camera and a Nikkor 500 mm f5.6 lens.

Beautiful!
Handsome birds. I have warbler envy! The magnolia almost looks painted.
Beautiful birds. Here in the Northwest, we’re getting new species I haven’t seen before as well. I installed 2 bird feeders this spring, so that’s probably why. 🙂
Gorgeous pictures of some very difficult-to-photograph species. Makes me miss the spectacular migratory season back east.
Excellent pictures! Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous birds and excellent work, Prof. Sherry! I find the littlest birds the most intriguing.
