Title: Return of the Warblers
Post by: Dinusaur on September 30, 2020, 09:41:22 AM

On Sept 28 I saw twelve different species of warblers in one little corner (north west) of the wooded area in Downsview Park in Toronto. According to eBird report the scene repeated the day after with a few more. Here's some photos of my encounters with them. Yes, some may look a little drab; however, mother nature compensates by providing colorful settings for them.

1. Tennessee Warbler:

Wonderful images! And the variety you had can make any birder jealous!

I'll bet that gets the old ticker beating!
So much, so fast, so nice.
Ally speaks of jealousy ... that barely covers it right now.
The woods across the street are home to BC Chickadees
and not much else, except for the two sapsuckers that
never drop below twenty-five feet.

Just out of curiosity, are you English?
