I have recently returned from a week at The Biggest Week in American Birding, a ten-day birding festival in Northwest Ohio. Nothing in my experience as a New Mexico birder prepared me for the dazzling array of migratory warblers that I encountered on the boardwalk at Magee Marsh, located on the south shore of Lake Erie. I have been slow in getting blog posts together, in large part because I had such a wonderful time in Ohio that I arrived home totally exhausted. If you’re a birder, you MUST go to The Biggest Week. Kenn and Kim Kaufman and their dedicated team put on a wonderful event.
One of the warblers that I really enjoyed seeing was the Black-throated Green Warbler.
I am still going through my photos, and I will do several more posts on The Biggest Week. Be sure to check back.

Great photos Linda!
Thank you Michelle. It was amazing to see so many beautiful warblers at The Biggest Week. We just don’t see them in the western US.
Oh lovely! They did sit still 🙂
Thank you Cindy, and yes, they did. There will be more warblers. It was an amazing week!

It was a wonderful festival, wasn’t it? I miss all my birding friends!! I miss seeing beautiful warblers every day. It’s boring here. 😉
Lovely, Linda!
Thank you so much! The warblers were like tiny jewels flitting through the trees. . .
Beautiful Black-throated Green Warbler views Linda! Yes, definitely a must attend event! Was wonderful seeing you there. The Kaufman’s and all the volunteers made this event a wonderful experience. The work they do is amazing. The migrating birds are lucky to have them in their corner.
Yes, I agree with everything you said about The Biggest Week. It was a wonderful event! I enjoyed meeting you and Paul very much. I’m looking forward to seeing both of you next year!
I’m very much looking forward to seeing the images of your trip Linda! It sounds fantastic for birds and meeting up with new bird people!
Hi Mia. It was a wonderful event, and I had a great time! I’ll be posting photos from The Biggest Week for at least the next week or two. Check back!
