today I saw a golden-crowned kinglet in the wild for the first time, but it was dead on the sidewalk. it's the bird that is my next goal in the taxidermy lab because its very small, even smaller than the warblers I've been working on. if I was superstitious idk if that would be a good or bad sign
Nashville Warblers are delightful pops of sunshine, especially on gloomy days (it was one such day when this photo was taken.)
Northern Parula warblers checking out an Autumn Olive for things to eat as they migrate through Michigan. They do not breed around the Great Lakes but breed south and north of this area; Usnea lichens in the north for nesting. Industrial air pollutants killed off Usnea lichens around the Great Lakes
Warblers are often overlooked, but this is an example of how colorful they can be.

Today was the first of a few days birding on Shetland, and almost every place we went to had Yellow-browed Warblers.
My role at the station was checking a third of the nets we had out and carefully extracting the birds that were caught I was checking my (empty) nets when I got a call that the crew needed my help with 30 (!) warblers in their net, raced through the trees and apparently stabbed my calf on a stick
Two weekends ago we got slammed by migrating warblers at the banding station, heavenly but chaotic At the same site this weekend? Same thingâ almost all new birds! Bay-breasted, Ovenbird, Black-throated Green, Yellow-rumped, Cape May, Blackpoll, Nashville, Tennessee, Magnolia, Hooded, Am. Redstart
