Snapshot: Blue-headed Vireo

Blue-headed Vireos are “snowbirds”. Like human snowbirds, they winter in the south and summer in the north. Their range is the eastern half of North America. They are a forest dweller and constantly search the tree canopy for insects and larvae.

Snapshot: Black-throated Green Warbler

This is one three species of warbler that I photographed recently. It is easy to see where the Black-throated Green gets its name. This particular individual has a nickname: Stubby. Yes, he is missing his tail feathers as is really obvious in the next picture. Research says the most likely cause is a close encounter…

Snapshot: Northern Perula

This warbler is stopping for a caterpillar snack as it migrates to northern New England or Canada.

Snapshot: Gadwall

It’s a Gadwall squadron. Ducks have a species-specific color patterned speculum on their secondary wing feathers. Gadwalls have a prominent white patch with black and chestnut bordering it.
