Wilson's Warbler

It seems we observe Wilson's Warblers on almost every outing this year as there seems to be an abundance around our area. A couple of days ago I had five all within eyesight at Wawanosh Wetlands.

Wilson's Warbler

 

Although I observe a Wilson’s Warbler every year it has always been a warbler that I don’t seem to obtain a decent image of.

Wilson’s Warblers dance around willow and alder thickets, often near water, to the rapid beat of their chattering song. This bright yellow warbler with a black cap is one of the smallest warblers in the U.S. and among the most recognizable.

They rarely slow down, dashing between shrubs, grabbing insects from one leaf after another, and popping up on low perches to sing. Wilson's Warblers breed in mountains and northern forests, but pass through every state in the lower 48 during migration. Cornell All About Birds
