Warblers

We saw a lot of warblers at the Bird Barn. For the next few posts, we'll be talking about warblers.

First we will talk about Tennessee Warblers.

It is yellowy green. It has a black

stripe through each eye. When being held, the one we saw likes to streeeeetch the neck.

Like all warblers, it eats bugs. Its beak is pointy to get bugs and to crush bug exoskeletons (or shells).

Facts we learned about the Tennessee Warbler while writing this post:

First, we listen to its call. You can listen here.

It breeds in Canada in the summer. It migrates down to Central and South America for the winter.

It is a little bird.

Magnolia Warbler

I first saw a picture of a Magnolia Warbler in my bird game. (Jill note: Birds of North America 100 piece memory card game. I couldn't find a link!)

It has orange fat. It has yellow feathers. The one we saw was female because the colors weren't as bright. There is black in the tail. It has a beak that is pointy like the Tennessee Warbler which was before this for you to learn about.

Facts we learned while making this post:

First we heard the call.

And also we learned that it migrates through Eastern and Central United States, and spends the winter in Central America. The last bird went to South AND Central. It breeds in Canada in the summer.
