A Couple of Warblers
A couple of warbler species that I spotted right in our campground, and one is another new lifer for me!
Welcome to my bird lifer list, #211 the Black-throated Blue Warbler! This is a female, and she is a beauty.
Black-throated Blue Warbler (female)
The Black-throated Blue Warbler breeds in eastern Canada, the upper northeast United States and down through the Appalachian Mountains, then migrates to the Caribbean for the winter.
The next warbler is the Yellow Warbler. I’m sharing three photos of several I watched foraging the bushes. They are either females and/or immatures. I didn’t see any adult males.

211, no stopping you Donna! Keep ’em coming!
Thank you, Brian! The new ones have been exciting to capture!
Beautiful pictures of the bird in its habitat, Donna!!
Thank you, Indira!! 🙂
I’ve seen those but didn’t know what they were. I enjoy your bird pics so much. 😊
The females of lots of little birds are so hard to ID, I even have trouble. Thank you, Irene, you made me smile! 🥰
You are so welcome. 😊
What a beautiful little one! Great captures Donna!
Thank you, Sandra! Such cuties!
Very nice Donna! And Congrats on 211!😊
Thank you very much, Reed! Now looking for a possible #212…. 🤔 😎
Lovely series, Donna! We missed them this year 😏.
Thank you, Belinda! I’ll tell them to come back in the Spring to visit you!! 🙂
😊
Congratulations on spotting another lifer! She’s a beauty! The images are just lovely.
Thank you, Deborah! Always feels good to ‘get another one’. 🙂
You must have keen eyesight to recognise all the different birds that you see.
I’m getting better each year, but there definitely are times I still need to look them up for proper ID. 🙂
Wow! Fantastic! You’re on a roll my dear! Congratulations # 211. Good work, Donna. 🙂
Thank you, HJ, very much! I’m having a lot of fun! Ugh, got a few I’m still trying to ID, if I give up, I’ll email to you in next day or so to. I’m giving it my all in studying differences, so hard sometimes! 😉
Lovely captures, Donna. I love these special songbirds and always rejoice when they return here in May. Safe travels wee friends!
Thank you, Eliza! It’s been a treat to see so many warblers in such a short time, even those I miss the shot, as they travel to their winter grounds. 🙂
Love your little Warblers Donna!
Thank you, Ashley!!
Congrats to adding to your list! Maybe it’s my eyesight but, the black-throated blue warbler looks green to me.
Thank you, Vic! You are right, the female BTBWarbler is an overall olive green to help her hide in the bushes. The males are blue with the black throats and white bellies.
Ah! That makes sense. Well…DUH. 🙄😁
