Connecticut warbler

A good friend, a white birder, called him to tell him about a sighting of a rare bird: the Connecticut Warbler.

But the joke is on us: it’s only a Connecticut warbler.

Most Transient Visitants are found both in the spring and fall, but some, like the Connecticut Warbler, are found in the North Atlantic States only in the fall.

Almost the first specimen I saw was a Connecticut warbler perched in full view and exposing himself perfectly.

One morning in northern Lake Michigan I found a Connecticut Warbler lying dead on the deck beneath my stateroom window after a stormy night of wind and rain.
