I’m sure you noticed most of the warblers are in a specific tree species.  I figured out last Spring that if I watched these four trees around 8:45-9:30 a.m. on our forecasted migration push the previous night, the warblers would come. The tree tops become lit with sunlight at that time, so insects are easier to see and be gobbled quickly as the warblers flit and flutter through them. And then like the snap of the fingers, the warblers move on. This year was the exact scenario.

I know I asked before but cannot remember the answer, who can tell me the tree species? (Eliza?) I’ll make a note this time and promise not forget!

I might get lucky in the next week or so with a few more warblers, but they have mostly pretty much flown through my coop! 😉

And finally, a bit of humor to round out my warbler Spring season.
