Birding @ Sunset

Great time of year for sunsets over Lake Erie if the weather cooperates. These shots from a week ago Thursday at Presque Isle State Park under warm & sunny (except for clouds at the horizon) conditions:

Palm Warbler

This is along the beach trail NE of Stull Interpretive Center. Directions: upon entering the park, drive past Stull and then Leo’s Landing; make a U-turn at the first turnaround after Leo’s Landing. Look for the parking wide spot on the right with the wooden posts. Follow the woods trail to the multi-use trail, keep going to the beach trail. (Beach trail is a sandy trail in the screen of woods between the beach and the multi-use trail = seasonally good for birds.)

    The sunset is spectacular, and the lighting soft and muted, making the photos of the birds peaceful.
