>>> Wilson's Warblers filled our yard this morning, minimum of 10 foraging through the trees. Some low enough to be breathtaking, most high enough to cause the classic warbler neck, silhouettes against a white sky. But that's warbler watching. As Jim Danzenbaker reminds us, look up! I think the reason they stay high is because they are on the move, and it's easier to move through the treetops than through the understory.
