Northern Parula

MIgration seems almost in full swing. I can tell because the Northern Parulas are back in the neighborhood.

Though not uncommon in the area, Northern Parula don't usually stop in the yard except for Fall migration and when they return in early Spring when they are extremely vocal.

I almost didn't even notice the pair in the yard until some raptor flew by and the Northern Parulas flew quickly into the Mulberry bush behind me. Later on, they were still feeding in the trees and I noticed them in the Cherry Laurels.



Must be good pickings since all the birds were finding plenty of snacks among the leaves.



Can't wait for the next big wave of migrants!
