Northern Parula - Paruline à collier
Work kept me away from the woods during the two significant movements of southbound migrants here. I had limited time outdoors, and chose to spend more of what time I had on shorebirds.
But walking to the River, early in the morning or late in the day, there are the sounds of the exotic visitors, and they still have a certain pull. The Parula’s buzzy song is one of the first Warbler sounds I learned to pick out of the general clamour. And in my experience, the food-preoccupied Parula is one of the boldest of the Warblers, seemingly unfazed by camera-pointing people.
