Cape May Warbler

The Cape May Warbler really has very little to do with Cape May. Found in this New Jersey town by George Ord, and later described by Alexander Wilson, the bird didn’t reappear in Cape May, New Jersey for another century.

Black-and-white Warbler

A favorite of mine is the Black-and-white Warbler. These birds are frequent migrants, their high contrast body creating a striking appearance. Their long hind claws and heavy legs help them to nimbly maneuver through forest habitats.

Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs

Two common visiting shorebirds can leave even the most experienced birders stumped: the Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs. These birds have more in common than the color of their legs.

Blue-winged Teal

You can spot the Blue-winged Teal’s dabbling blue-gray head—with a distinctive white crescent in front of the eye—in wetlands this time of year, having just recently arrived.
