Hooded Warbler.

A number of the previous warbler photos were lightly tweaked for sharpness and exposure (I was shooting with slightly-above-basic equipment, and am thrilled with what I did manage to capture) but sometimes it takes a filter (here, Photoshop's "Watercolor") to save a photo that doesn't quite make the grade on its own no matter how much you twiddle... Adult male Hooded Warblers really do look like this; the filter simply changed the texture of the photo.

First order of business: Eat.

Hello, buuuug…?

The warblers were feasting, stuffing their faces and doing so quite acrobatically at times, fueling up to continue their journey south. Cape May County's insane insect populations do have their uses...
