Mourning Warbler

Another fairly common warbler at Killbear Provincial Park is the Mourning Warbler. A real skulker of the the warbler family I was happy to get these images of Mourning Warblers feeding low in the brush roadside.

Clad in olive, gray, and yellow, with a jewel-like black chest patch in breeding males, Mourning Warblers are bright but hard-to-see birds of brushy areas.

Among the most renowned skulkers of the warbler family, they are common but seldom seen, particularly during migration and winter, when they are quiet.

Mourning Warblers breed in dense thickets of northern North America, often in areas created by fires, storms, or logging operations. Cornell All About Birds
