I love the sound of my squeaky little visitors. They are not shy at all. They love to bathe in boggy creek or be showered with the hose when I am watering bromeliads and orchids in the trees.
My bad... The first time I noticed that I was watering a Parula along with a bromeliad I stopped and began watering elsewhere. I didn't mean to get him all wet. The Parula came to the other area where I was watering in order to finish his shower.
Then I realized that he was enjoying the shower. Nowadays, when he comes to shower, I just water the area a little longer until he's all done.
A last look at this very rare Warbler for this location. It was a delight to see and photograph this one. It was very energetic, acrobatic. and hard to photograph. It hasn't been seen for a couple of days now. I hope it took advantage of unseasonal warm temps and winds and will make it to a safe place to spend the winter.

Kennesaw Mountain Georgia. This bird does not breed at this location and was an early season southbound migrant. This adult male was singing intermittently. In my experience of all the eastern warblers this species is the most likely to occasionally sing during southbound migration. I would be interested in the experience of others in this regard.
In his fall plumage note how yellow feathering partially obscures the bluish and chestnut on the chest. Note how olive feathering does the same in some of the blue areas. The lores are not as dark as in the Spring. The white wing bars remain full and white without any olive. The olive mantle continues to contrast well with the rest of the top of the bird. The primaries are edged blue not olive.

Thanks to all who comment or mark as a favorite it really is much appreciated.
Again this bird has migrated far west of its usual range according to www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Parula/overview
It has been an incredible year for lifers. This was one of four Northern Parulas that visited the Northbay. Another rarity I had to get and lifer! I spent one early morning listening and watching this fella. He bounced around from poison Hemlock plants picking insect and worms. I just sat next to them in my car and fired away. I didn't have to crop this one :)
Normally I run into these guys way up in the tops of very large trees. This individual was extremely accomodating, although the lighting was a bit tough. Gaddy Garden at Tower Grove Park, St Louis, Missouri.

A Northern Parula doing his best imitation of a flower on this small sapling. A very colorful, and very small, new world warbler. The photo was a bit underexposed out of the camera and I had to open up the shadows quite a bit. Even though shot Raw, a loss of some fine feather detail did occur. However, the image has enough other redeeming qualities that I felt in worthwhile to share. Please view large for best experience.
As always, Thank You for stopping by~!

Males have a dark bar across their yellow chest. No other warbler has any such marking.
