A Kentucky Warbler was found and photographed late Sunday evening. I was able to get a pinned location from a friend and shared it with my group. It was relocated Monday morning in the same general area. I left work and headed over there. Monday ended up being absolutely insane for birds! I had 98 species and 17 warblers at Warnimont Park. It felt like a mid-May spring day, not an April 25th day. I never made back to work that day, well only to pick up my tools and head back to Warnimont. The same day another Kentucky Warbler was found, along the bluff behind the archery range. This one was a female! both of those birds were still present on Tuesday as well. Then yesterday, a third Kentucky Warbler was found at Sheridan Park. He was hopping around the ground, underneath the Pine trees on the south side of the pond. He was still present as of last night and providing excellent views. I just sat on the ground and waited for him to hop right to me! Pretty crazy that we have 3 Kentucky Warblers within a mile of each! Good luck if you try! Photos below are from the last 3 days. Enjoy!
Have never seen one of these. Great photos.
Thank you! Not a very common warbler, and usually very hidden.
Thanks for including the female. Great looks at these uncommon warblers.
You are welcome! I love the female warblers. While they are muted in colors compared to the males, it seems the coloring is placed just right to make them beautiful too! Thank you Pam!
