We discussed this bird in our class⎯the first I'd heard of it⎯so it was quickly added to my wish list. Our instructor heard it first, then found it. That's the way we discovered most of the birds, by hearing first. I wish these photos had been better. Besides the bird being small, it flitted around quickly and the lighting was poor. I am no longer striving for photographic perfection since it would limit the variety of birds to post on my blog.
what a delightful little bird it is too Gail
ReplyDeletei love the yellow belly. cutie birdie. ( :
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos! I fear I will miss the warblers when they pass through Ontario going north this year. Nice to see you aren't missing them though!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful bird and a lot better than most of my shots.
ReplyDeleteahhh...a beautiful little bird
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous bird - and these are great shots!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird, that is not in the Netherlands.
ReplyDeletePerfect photographed, Gail.
Greetings Irma
Such a little beauty! Love that yellow color! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty bird, Gail! The yellow is so happy and vibrant :) Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful little bird.
ReplyDeleteIt's always exciting to see a new bird! These are great shots Gail, love the grey sky, makes the bird stand out!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the deep yellowish coloring under its neck.
ReplyDeleteLooking him up on my IBird App.
ReplyDeleteHij staat er wel heel mooi op.
ReplyDeleteIn spite of all limitations you got good captures!
ReplyDeleteAbsolute perfection Gail.
ReplyDeleteYes, birders have to have very sharp ears. Beautiful little bird.
ReplyDeleteA very sleek, sharp looking bird. Interesting having that yellow patch on its chest. I can see how this bird can easily get lost in spanish moss as long as it doesn't stand up and shows it chest!!
ReplyDeleteSo neat Gail...to be able to detect the different sounds that birds make. I find this very interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou get the pleasure of listening for the beautiful sounds and seeing the birds as well. I'm pretty sure that the hunt is fun too...
Hope you had an amazing Easter weekend..

Funny what we wish for, in our later years of life!! What a pretty little bird, you captured him beautifully!!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of the Northern Parula. It is a beautiful bird. Enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteThese are so wonderful and distinct.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done, tho, Gail. I am glad you are having so much fun with your birding adventures.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your thoughts and prayers, sooooo much. I need every single one, every one of them. ♥, Renae
I wish I could see that little bird around here, you got some great shots Gail. Thanks also for stopping by and sharing your input on my blogging issues. I have only heard from those two blogging friends about their difficulties and I like their blogs so much I didn't want to lose them or any others who might have the same problem. I guess it's just one of those wacky server things. Hopefully there aren't too many people out there who have the same difficulty. Keeping my fingers crossed. Have a great week Gail, and thanks for brightening mine up with these lovely photos :)
ReplyDeletewhat a beauty! i've never seen one in person.
ReplyDeleteDearest Gail;
ReplyDeleteGood Morning from Japan. Your Northern Parula (warbler) looks SO lovely in your beautiful pictures♡♡♡
I'm learning a little by little through blogging not only birds but varieties of things; appreciate my friends making me widen my views(^_^)v
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs, xoxo Miyako*
These pictures show this bird as one would likely find it in it's habitat. I like how they look.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a sleek, aerodynamic shaped bird....and beautifully colored. I think you have done a wonderful job capturing it!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely shots! Such a beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a birder, but it must be quite a thrill to hear and then spot a bird on your "list"! Very cool!!
ReplyDeleteHello Gail,
ReplyDeleteWhat agreat shots you've made. Wonderful this special bird between the branches of the tree.
Well done!!
Best regards,
Marco
Congratulations on the sighting. The photos are fine and sharp.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a fine job. What a pretty little subject...one I've never seen before.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous warbler! I've seen one only once or twice.
ReplyDeleteWhat bold, beautiful markings on such a little bird! I had never seen one of these before - thanks for sharing him - outstanding shots, Gail!
ReplyDeleteEven though he was quick, you captued all those identifying markings except the color on his back. I assume he didn't cooperate with a slow upside down fly-by! Impressive documentation of sighting in challenging circumstances.
