"Warblers"
Great video! I’ll be able to find warblers a lot easier now!
I have little parulas ..al year❤
Nice!! What area are you in?
In my yard (Miami- Shenandoah), Parula is found almost all year. They arrive sometimes as early as late July. Usually stay in the neighborhood for the winter. The latest are in mid May. In late February-March, they become abundant for a few weeks.
@Miami.grackle that’s pretty awesome! I only see them during migration
@@FloridaKeysBirding Parulas like to be high in the trees, but love to bath. I while ago, my roommate and I built a do-it- yourself little fountain. Seeing them at eye level, coming to the water is a treat. Many colors, all in pastel, all complementary. Intricate pattern. So much contained in the littlest warbler. At Pinetree Park in Miami Beach, one would visit a hidden pipe that had a constant drip. Managed some unfortunately lousy cell photos.
Everyone loves warblers, but few give the parula its fair share of love. They are definitely understated.
Edit: They are one of my favorite, but not the favorite warbler of mine. The best is a tough choice. For me, it could be Black-throated blue, American Redstart, or Black-and white. Probably the first, they are just neat.
@Miami.grackle It’s interesting I see parulas in all kinds of places. I had some in my yard this action jumping through vines and my potted plants. There have been many these past few days after hurricane milton!
I have definitely learned its easiest to identify warblers and vireos by their calls because its often hard to see them. I live in southern gulf coast and have lots of hardwood forested upland habitats along creek wetlands by my house and have seen many warblers and vireo species around my property but been able to identify more by their calls then by sight. I regularly see hooded warblers, prothonatary warblers, black and white warblers, both woodthrush varieties, american redstarts, yellow breasted chats, common yellowthroat, wormeating warblers, tennesse warblers, black throated green warblers, pine warbler and a cerulean once and have been able to identify swainsons warbler, northern parula, yellow throated warblers, Kentucky warbler, and ovenbird by their call but Im sure there are more that I'm forgetting. I live in an area with biological hotspot for songbird diversity.
Sounds like you are in the perfect spot! We get lots of warblers and song birds in the keys during fall migration, but spring is hit or miss since they take the westerly route more often. I’m always jelly in spring of the gulf coast😄
@@FloridaKeysBirding yeah i kind of live by a songbird migration stopover. I live half a mile from the Pearl River bottomlands in the Mississippi/Lousisiana state line, important birding area. I have a lot of longleaf pine upland with bottomland hardwood streams. I have seen bachmans sparrow and henslows sparrow around my property and have lots of old growth pines. My neighbors have red cockaded woodpeckers and i have seen swallow tailed kites and wood stork flying around my property. I see a lot of rarities.
@michaelfisk4272 very cool!! I alerts see that area active on the birdcast map during migration. All the gulf states seem to do well!
@@FloridaKeysBirding When I first moved here in 2008, the property had only St Augustine grass and two coconut trees. It now has mostly native plants, no grass except some in the front. Several of the trees are already full -sized. These plants make a huge difference. The Florida strangler fig, wild tamarind and scarlet bush seem to be the most popular with the birds. Some of the vines, like snowberry, chiggery grapes, and curtain vine are also great Be aware that curtain vine is, along with moonflower, among the natives gardeners might want to avoid due to thier incredibly rapid growth!
Strangler figs and wild tamarinds are definitely my go to for birds!
Protonatory like stream and river banks.
