Northern Parula


The Northern Parula ia a small warbler of the upper tree canopy. During spring migration, I often hear the "ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip" of the Northern Parula but it is very difficult to see as it flits about high in the tree tops. The warbler pictured was in the upper branches of a tree but, luckily, I was also high in an observation tower at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, a wonderful natural area located on Lake Erie near Toledo, Ohio.
