Golden-winged Warblers and more… at Whitnall Park 5/5/21

For the last week a couple Golden-winged Warblers, a Blue-winged Warbler and a Black-throated Blue have been hanging around the flowering trees at Whitnall Park. There have been other warblers too, but these three are not as common and are more sought after warblers. With the leaf out happening a few weeks early this spring, I knew getting photos of warblers, in general would be more challenging. I didn’t realize though that the flowering apple trees would be in bloom for the warblers. They usually don’t flower out until after peak migration. The colors sure make for an amazing background! The GWWA and BWWA warblers along with a Northern Parula and several Yellow Warblers were in the flowering trees as of this morning (5/7) and the Black-throated Blue was seen tonight, by the bridge. Pictures below are from this week (5/3 – 5/7). Good luck if you try for them. Enjoy!
