It's officially warbler season! 5 Tips For Spring Warbler Watching

It's warbler season in our area. Locally, yellowthroat and yellow warblers can be found nesting in our wetlands and chestnut-sided, yellow-rumped and golden-winged warblers will be summering in local woodlots.

Watch the weather: Picking the right day, with the right weather conditions, can make all the difference in what you see. In the spring, warblers move on winds blowing from the south. South winds help push migrants toward their northern breeding grounds, which allows the birds to expend less energy. But for a bird watcher, sustained south winds may cause birds to fly right over without stopping in your neighborhood.
