I feel very lucky to have seen a number of warblers this spring but, at the same time, I am disappointed with my photo opportunities. It seems that due to a hot and dry April, the flowering trees blossomed about 10 days early which meant that by the time the warblers arrived, the apple blossoms had already finished blooming and the petals had floated down like confetti. This gave me no opportunity to get those coveted shots of a colourful bird framed by soft, pink or white flowers.
That said, here are several of the lovely, little birds (with or without flowers)!
Palm Warbler, setophaga palmarum
Yellow Warbler, setophaga petechia
Black and White Warbler, mniotilta varia
Black-throated Blue Warbler, setophaga caerulescens
Northern Parula Warbler, setophaga americana
American Redstart, setophaga ruticilla
Magnolia Warbler, setophaga magnolia
