Golden-winged Warbler

 

Back in the spring I had the chance to observe and photograph a Golden-winged Warbler that was in the area. I had previously observed these allusive birds but failed in attempts at obtaining a decent image.


Golden-winged Warblers forage among the leaves and branch tips of their low, shrubby habitat. Males sing their loud, buzzy song over and over again from the tops of shrubs during early summer. Which is exactly the habitat this warbler was observed.


Golden-winged Warblers breed in tangled, shrubby habitats such as regenerating clearcuts, wet thickets, and tamarack bogs. They often move into nearby woodland when the young have fledged. They spend winters in open woodlands and shade-coffee plantations of Central and South America. Cornell All About Birds
