Dateline: May 2022
From ‘warbler week,’ let’s enjoy the Northern Parula!
Not many (e.g., two) BirdingPI.com sightings of this lovely bird so far this year.
Gray head with yellow throat, white eye arcs, yellow chest, white rump, gray wings with white wing bars, patch of burnt orange on the chest. (Latter feature best seen in the shots immediately above and below, but this may be a juvenile or first-year male – or perhaps molting plumage – since it’s less apparent than normal.)
Shots taken off Misery Bay near the Sidewalk Trail east end trailhead.
[Editor’s note: “Lollaparula???” Just awful.]
