The Yellow Throated Warbler is small migratory songbird species in temperate North America. It has more extensive resident population in the Southern United States than most other Warblers. This is one of my back yard birds, they only come in the Fall/Winter to my Bird Feeder.
This and all my fall warbler posts to come were photographed in my new country yard in between unpacking stuff from our moving boxes. A lot of Wilson's passed through during the first couple of days after the move.
I found this cooperative bird 2 days earlier and decided to return with some yellow wild flowers I dug up. The same flowers were used later for a set-up with a Go1den-w1nged warbler. The total time using playback was minimal. What a thrill to see a 'skulking' Mourning warbler foraging around you in the open! This has not been unusual at this productive location which is a very large area which had been clear cut and has lots of fallen logs/branches and regenerating vegetation. Having gone to this area of Michigan annually for 8 years now we have never run into another photographer or birder. The area is off the birding grid. It is a gem.
This warbler is also known as the Gold Finch of Texas. Breeding in Central Texas it is now an endangered species.
“Golden-cheeked warblers will only remain in Texas for the breeding season, from March to June. They will migrate with other songbird species along Mexico's Sierra Madre Oriental. By the first week of March, the warblers will return to Texas to breed. During the winter season (November–February), warblers will travel to Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Mexico” [credit iNaturalist.]
I saw this bird in a wooded area on High Island just off the Bolivar Peninsular.
This Wilson's warbler was flitting through the trees in the woods at Koll. My first shot of a Wilson's in two years. Always nice to see them!

Dartford Warbler - Sylvia Undata
The Dartford warbler (Sylvia undata) iDs a typical warbler from the warmer parts of western Europe and northwestern Africa. It is a small warbler with a long thin tail and a thin pointed bill. The adult male has grey-brown upperparts and is dull reddish-brown below except for the centre of the belly which has a dirty white patch. It has light speckles on the throat and a red eye-ring. The sexes are similar but the adult female is usually less grey above and paler below.
Its breeding range lies west of a line from southern England to the heel of Italy (southern Apulia). The Dartford warbler is usually resident all year in its breeding range, but there is some limited migration.
The Dartford warbler was first described by the Welsh naturalist Thomas Pennant from two specimens that were shot in April 1773 on Bexley Heath near Dartford in Kent.
The species is naturally rare. The largest European populations of Sylvia undata are in the Iberian peninsula, others in much of France, in Italy and southern England and south Wales. In Africa it can be found only in small areas in the north, wintering in northern Morocco and northern Algeria.
In southern England the birds breed on heathlands, sometimes near the coast, and nest in either common gorse (Ulex europaeus) or common heather (Calluna
Dartford warblers are named for Dartford Heath in north west Kent, where the population became extinct in the early twentieth century. They almost died out in the United Kingdom in the severe winter of 1962/1963 when the national population dropped to just ten pairs. Sylvia undata is also sensitive to drought affecting breeding success or producing heath fires, as occurred during 1975 and 1976 in England when virtually all juveniles failed to survive their first year.
However, this species can recover well in good quality habitat with favourable temperatures and rainfall, thanks to repeated nesting and a high survival rate for the young. Indeed, they recovered in some areas of the UK, but numbers are once again on the decline in other regions of their natural range.
The range of the Dartford warbler is restricted to western and southern Europe. The total population in 2012 was estimated at 1.1–2.5 million breeding pairs. The largest numbers occur in Spain where there were believed to be 983,000–1,750,000 pairs. For reasons that probably include loss of suitable habitat, the Spanish population appears to be declining. The species is therefore classed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as being Near threatened.
A period of climatic warming since 1963 has seen the UK population increase to "more than 2,500 pairs in 2006 (Wotton et al. 2009). Expansion into patches of structurally suitable habitat (up to an altitude of 400m), more northerly areas and away from the core of the range, from Dorset and Hampshire to Derbyshire and Suffolk, is likely to have been facilitated by milder winter weather (Wotton et al. 2009, Bradbury et al. 2011)... The Dartford warbler population in the UK is expected to continue to increase. However, future climate-based projections for the European range indicate that by 2080, more than 60% of the current European range may no longer be suitable (Huntley et al 2007). There is evidence that this is happening already, with severe declines in Spain and France (Green 2017). For this reason, the species is classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Global Red List. If the declines in southern Europe continue, the UK will become increasingly important for global conservation of this species".

Garden Warbler - Sylvia Borin
A plain-looking warbler, the garden warbler is a summer visitor to the UK. It is a shy bird and is most likely to be heard, rather than seen, in woodland and scrub habitats.
The garden warbler is a medium-sized warbler of woodland and tall scrub -habitats it shares with the similar blackcap. Garden warblers are summer visitors, arriving in April and leaving in July, although Continental birds can be seen on migration around the east and south coasts until September. They eat insects during the breeding season, but fuel-up on berries and fruit during migration. Garden warblers breed in low trees and shrubs, building their nest from grasses and lining it with fur.
The garden warbler is a plain, sandy-grey warbler, with a pale grey neck and pale underparts.
Garden warblers are shy birds, skulking around in shrubs and bushes. If you can't get a good view, listen out for their song instead - it's similar to the blackcap's, but more mellow and longer.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
The Yellow-rumped Warbler is the only warbler able to digest the waxes found in bayberries and wax myrtles. Its ability to use these fruits allows it to winter farther north than other warblers, sometimes as far north as Newfoundland.
You can hear it's song in the link below:

One of the pretties Warblers in my mind. It's nicknamed the Necklace Warbler because of the markings on it's chest. Wish it would have gave me a look at the necklace.

Blackburnian Warblers pick insects and their larvae from high in the tops of both coniferous and deciduous trees, where they often search entire branches from base to tip by hopping and creeping along them, looking up at the underside of leaves and inside clumps of dead leaves when present. They also pluck insects from the underside of leaves by hovering (known as “hover-gleaning”) and occasionally catch insects in flight.
It's song can be found in the link below.

It is that time of year again when warblers come to dazzle us. This beauty in breeding plumage was spotted at the Pool, Central Park, New York.
These quick little guys with their twitchy little tails are fun to watch. They love the bluebirds and seem to look out for them. However, they really don't like the Pine Warblers at all and will chase them out of the yard every time one tries to get a bite to eat.
I hope your day is magnificent, happy snapping.

A Chesnut-sided Warbler near Essex, Vermont
"The crisply plumaged Chestnut-sided Warbler is not your average warbler of the deep forest. These slender, yellow-capped and chestnut-flanked songsters thrive in young, regrowing forests, thickets, and other disturbed areas."
Two of a brood of four juvenile willow warblers seen in the Bill Smyllie field at Prestbury Hill nature reserve in Gloucestershire. The parents were busy flitting too and from the bushes to provide these hungry youngsters with food!
Captured a couple years back.
This was my first decent photograph of warblers and I was thrilled with this encounter!
Enjoy :)
