Early Spring Warbler Watch! (Featuring Lesley the Bird Nerd)

Warblers are amazing! However, at the start spring migration, some of the early warblers can be overlooked. Join Ryan and Derek as they look for warblers in early spring, with some additional insights from their friend Lesley the Bird Nerd. Filmed in Spring of 2022.

Thanks for using my yellow-rumped warbler shot in your thumbnail! I'm always happy when my photos can be of use for people

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Thanks for taking great photos, Andrew!

[@carolshannon6449]

The Hooded Warbler could direct traffic with that beautiful bright yellow and black

[@MsDee_777]

We have quite a few Yellow Rumped Warblers right now. They like the suet we put out. Butterbutt 😃 I love it 💛

[@MrTmiket0007]

Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always. Merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎄🎅🐦✨

[@johnhartley3596]

Thanks for the video. Considering today’s the Winter Solstice, a birding trip in May was appreciated.

[@garymeredith2441]

Derek and Ryan you might want to add to Leslie's video that the yellow-rumped ( Audubon's Race ) that I have here in the West , Warblers also love eating grape jelly during the winter in my yard they love going to my grape jelly feeder .

[@birdz.n.birdiez]

Great video! I can't wait for our first warblers!

[@pauraque]

It's worth noting that very rarely drab immature Audubon's warblers can completely lack all yellow. I've only ever seen two of these and they are kinda wild.

WoW ! That Scarlet Tanager ! We get a couple vagrants here in Cali every year... but they never seem to be mature males :( Those Myrtle Yellow Rumps are SO cool. Those Palm W. are super cool too ! I'd love to shoot those ! Maybe someday :) Great vid. TY :) Hope you guys have some fantastic birding in 23' !

[@nathanwebb4836]

I see yellow-rumped warblers all winter in Alabama.

[@YuasBirds]

Normally I'd say yes, but in the last week I've had a Loggerhead Shrike, A family of western meadowlarks, and a Say's Phoebe in my yard. No lack of bird diversity here fortunately!

[@davidsuber8756]

We seen a Palm Warbler in late November in Aruba in 2019

[@garrettsubproductions8705]

yellow warblers are my top 10 favorite birds just hard to photograph only have 4 photos of them and there not great, great video though!

[@oldairyheir]

I gotta say I have an affinity for the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher also. They're quite a challenge when trying to get a good photograph! Looking forward to Spring of '23 on this first day of Winter, '22. Thanks, guys. Happy Holidays!

[@benslusher1698]

Loved this video
Love your channel ❤️

[@abielmanchego2270]

I just love June Cardinals I love the color and the Beautiful white beak

[@stevencanden2911]

Oh snap - my two favorite birding YT channels in one video?? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

[@lindadechiazza2924]

Have YRW here in california January 10, 2023 they are a splash of color next to our california towhee

[@nature_rabbits5370]

When you said that might get split in the species for yellow rumped warbler, I’m like Yep taxonomy seems to do that.

[@staufferfamily9629]

Beautiful birds! Right now I'm anxiously awaiting the first redpolls. Hopefully they show up in central Wisconsin soon.🤞🙂

[@WarblerRidge]

Oh man! Y’all had me excited for a minute there. I thought you were seeing early spring migrants already! You can tell I’m already wishing for spring 😂 I did not know about the gnatcatcher eyebrows! Something new to look for! I have some Butterbutts and Golden-crowned Kinglets here in TN for the winter. They’re nice to have around. Thanks for another great video. Looking forward to seeing what you find in the coming spring.
