The Warbler Show

Today was a good day for binge watching ...

An American Yellowstart (a female American Redstart).


This critter breeds in New Jersey, but I don't know that it breeds in our woods. It likes large areas of contiguous forest, and our woods may not be quite large enough, broken up by farms and such. But they likely breed in the not to distant state forests.


A common visitor to our yard, included on forty-five eBird lists over the years we've been here.

That's the mister hose that she is perched on.


There were at least three in the yard this day. I saw two females and one male at the same time (the male was camera shy). Along with the other warblers. In a small mixed flock with Tufted Titmouse and Carolina Chickadee.


Bye-bye!
