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 your local forecasts for storms that force migrating birds out of the air and down to patches of habitat. The largest concentrations of birds and fallouts generally occur when south winds are met by some change in the weather—rain, snow, or a quick shift in wind direction. Even a passing line of local thunderstorms can leave an astonishing array of avian gems in your local park. Check quickly, though, because the birds will often depart the next night.
