Even though some say good wildlife photography should not contain manmade elements, I like everything about this photo. But I held on to this photo from 2017 because of the setting in which this Song Sparrow , seen near the Lake Cuitzeo shore, chose to stand. I will have to write more in detail about them soon.

Corey’s Beat Bird of the Weekend was a singing male Mourning Warbler at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge that was chosen despite it giving a brief awful look. Rochester hosted a nice push of Bay-breasted Warblers , which I was quite pleased to intercept at Cobbs Hill. Still though, Mourning Warbler! How about you?

It could have been any of those from among the over 100 species that crossed Corey’s path this weekend but of them all he chose the singing Henslow’s Sparrow at the Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge as this state-threatened species is hard to see and it gave Corey the best looks he ever had of the species.
