Warbler Canada 272 PA 2405

As a retirement present to myself I organised a trip to photograph songbirds - particularly wood warblers - in the USA. I linked up with Sabrewing Nature Tours who set up a photo trip in Southern Ohio [around Cincinnati] and a further on in Pennsylvania. In between I joined the many migrants - both avian and human- at Magee Marsh.
My priorities were Kentucky, Cerulian, Worm-eating and Canada Warblers, Veery & Swainson's Thrush.
I didn't see Canada Warbler in either Southern Ohio or the Magee Marsh area but was promised it for the extension trip I undertook with Brian Zwiebel of Sabrewing. Freezing weather when we got to the Pocono Mountains made me think that I might miss with this species as we only got brief glimpses on the first two days. However on the 3rd day this individual gave itself up to us while we stood on a bridge over a creek. The higher elevation meant that I was photographing at eye-level.
Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis) is a small boreal songbird of the New World warbler family (Parulidae). It summers in Canada and northeastern United States and winters in northern South America. It inhabits the lower storey of deciduous forests favouring areas with native Rhododendron commonly called rosebay rhododendron.
