Each October, the Nashville Warbler graces Oklahoma’s Cross Timbers with a brief but brilliant visit. Migrating from northern forests to wintering grounds in Mexico and Central America, this tiny songbird pauses here to refuel—drawn by the abundant insect life and sheltering scrub.
This warbler flits low through the understory, gleaning caterpillars and beetles from twigs and foliage, often in the company of kinglets and other migrants.
Though quiet, its presence is a gentle reminder of the great avian journeys that go unnoticed by the masses. In the stillness of fall, beneath the rustle of blackjack oak, hickories, persimmons, and sumac, this beautiful little warbler carries the pulse of distant forests and the promise of warmer days.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.

So sometimes you gear up super hard to look for these migrating warblers (now is the time for spring migration!) and go out to giant parks hoping to spot some. You come home disappointed you saw one (and didn't capture it) and then as you're editing other photos at your desk you catch a bird in the corner of your eye out the window. Sure enough a damn warbler! Pretty common Yellow Rumped but damn talk about irony!
