Probably due to weather conditions and strong southerly winds, many of the migrating warblers moved into the Montreal area in May and stayed longer than usual. Large numbers stopped over in the Botanical Gardens to rest, bathe and feed.
Luckily for me, I found a secluded area with a small stream which attracted quite a variety of bathers.
Here is a selection of some of the residents and visitors (warblers) who frequented the stream and gave me the opportunity to witness their enjoyment of a cool bath!
Cardinal (female)
Red-breasted Nuthatch
White-breasted Nuthatch
American Goldfinch
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Magnolia Warbler (immature or female)
Chestnut-sided Warbler
American Redstart
Baltimore Oriole
Tennessee Warbler
