Northern parula, a colorful warbler is seen here with some fresh catch at Cape May wetlands. The wetlands are an important location for all kinds of migratory birds, as well as a major rest stop for monarch butterflies during their migration to Mexico.
In the southern part of their range Northern Parulas are more common in deciduous forests, but in the northern part they also use evergreen forests. But no matter what part of their range, the key to their presence is moss; Spanish moss in the South and beard moss farther north. On the wintering grounds, they forage in fields, pastures, plantations, scrub, and forests.

With things pretty slow locally I thought I'd dip into one more Parula shot from the Parula vault.
I was very fortunate to get two shots of this vagrant Northern Parula male as he paused oh so briefly eye level. Couldn't have landed in a better spot and branch. I visited this spot on four occasions and didn't take for granted that this bay area rarity would return next year. Click image for better clarity.
We were very lucky to have several Northern Parulas visit the North Bay this year. They are a rare Warbler in our parts. I spent several occasions photographing this adult male that stayed for a month plus! I favored the morning overcast light but wanted to try the evening light. In this shot I was waiting for this fella to come down. He stayed high mostly that late afternoon. About seven o'clock he perched right in this small pocket of light point blank eye level! I was looking at the back of my camera when he appeared there. He sat quietly and just posed. I thought I'd start my series with one of many close up shots :)
