Parula Portraits

Some years at Presque Isle State Park it’s lucky to see even 1-2 Northern Parula warblers. Anecdotally, 2025 has been pretty good, including these nice “not so high up in the trees” shots from recently at Leo’s Landing. Males = russet/burnt chestnut-coloured band on chest:

N. Parula (m)
N. Parula (probably female)

Following shots are more Northern Parula + “misc. birds” same date/location:

Tip for attracting Northern Parula: “Here, birdie, birdie, birdie.” 🙂


Rather awful (rainy, windy, cold) weather in Erie County, Pennsylvania yesterday/Saturday; really nice bird activity at Presque Isle nevertheless. Today, looks a bit better! Happy birding/happy nature!
