Canadian Warblers

These are some of the Warblers we saw in our recent trip to Canada and Michigan. Most were taken at Point Pelee. We saw 34 species of Warbler, most very well but they are real skulkers or stay very high up in the canopy. We also went to an observatory, hence the bird in the hand waiting to be rung. It was amazing just how many people put feeders out and more than once we were invited into peoples gardens, very friendly people the Canadians.

    Looks like you had a successful trip. The Mourning Warbler in hand, was it caught at a banding station? They are very rare!

    Hi Randy
    Yes, it was at a banding station and I have to say that although there is an arguement for it I personally found the sight of panic stricken birds hanging in nets very disturbing. Sue

    A most beautiful variety of stunning warblers! Definitely a feast for the eyes. Gorgeous Magnolia, Canada and Prothonotary Warblers, though they all are quite lovely. A very colorful, wonderful post!

    Hi John,
    These warblers are so different from the birds we have migrate to our shores! They are truly beautiful birds and your photo`s portray this vividly.

    Mmmm nearly let this one slip by me, must be old age creeping on.
    Still glad you had a lovely holiday and what a superb set of Warblers to come back with.Cant pick a fav out of this lot John.
    Hope to see you both soon, and I'm off to dust down the lens and brush up on my technique I think I'll need it after seeing this batch.

    Love your warblers! Hard to name a favorite - they are all gorgeous - but would probably say the Black-throated Blue Warbler! Just look at that attitude!
