It is a crime that their numbers are decreasing in staggering numbers. Your pictures are a treasure. The only Hooded Warbler I ever saw was at Point Peele and it was dead--- killed in a thunderstorm. Thanks!

I'd have pointed out that none of the birds i showed was a Norwegian blue parrot.

Last spring I saw lots of Chestnut Sided Warblers. Love when I can spot them! Myrtle and Pine are the two most common in my yard.
