I have to admit - I've heard the Palm Warblers singing here all summer long, but I've never 'seen' one in the back yard. Today I was raking up where the dog had been all winter (ahem) and saw a movement out of the corner of my eye. I stopped and thought it must be a Junco (they are everywhere lately!) and went to return to my chores. Then it wagged it's tail. Juncos don't wag their tails, Warblers do. I squinted to look closer. My eyesight is getting worse with time and to be honest, I should be wearing glasses full time. I gave up and went in the house to get the binoculars. A quick lookup concluded that it was, indeed, a Palm Warbler. Imagine that. I got my camera and snuck out on the back lawn, creeping closer and closer. That's when I realized there were three of them hopping along looking for bugs. Very, very cool.

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Renee!
ReplyDeleteThey came in droves last weekend! I have a Pine warbler serenading me through the screen door right now.
ReplyDeleteI love warblers too Mary, so many different kinds and seeing them is like finding treasure - they are such sneaky birds~
Thanks Bill! I'm so pleased I got a chance to get them!
