Prairie Warbler

I’m one of the few year-round resident warblers in Florida. I’m a brightly colored little guy who likes the tops of tall trees. Don’t expect me to sit still for long, because I like to move around!

Most Likely Found: In the marsh, In the treetops, In your backyard

When: Summer

Where I've photographed: Bok Tower, Circle B Bar Reserve, Lake Apopka, Lake Hancock Outfall Wetlands, Mead Gardens, Oakland Nature Preserve

Quiet Morning at Mead Gardens

May 5, 2012 - On the morning of the big Fort De Soto fallout, the forecast was for clouds and rain.  I went over to Mead Gardens, figuring I'd get an hour of birding in if I was lucky.  Mead is a local migrant hotspot, so I figured I might see some birds brought…... Read more

Beautiful Morning at the Circle B Bar Reserve

December 22, 2010 - Great Blue Heron Close to the oak trees on the west side of Marsh Rabbit Run, we spotted a bright yellow bird, then happily realized that he wasn't a Palm Warbler, but a Prairie Warbler.  The bird posed for us, standing on the outside branches of his tree.  Dyeyo said…...

Circle B Migrants

September 19, 2010 - ...I felt like playing with Photoshop today, so I made another warbler and migrant bird collage.

You come home with a stiff neck and then squint at your pictures, asking […] Read more

Springtime at Bok Tower

April 2, 2010 - Ruby-throated hummingbird In general we've noticed that the warblers are starting to leave, so it was fun to see the oak trees in the parking lot full of little birds.  I was able to photograph palm, pine, and prairie warblers all in the same trees.  I think I heard one…...
