A Bevvy of Feathursday Warblers

As I walk through Downer Woods on my way to work, I am always struck by the profusion of confusing warblers I meet along the way in fall. Hopefully, one day I will be able to tell one from the other. Until then, however, we present a few chromolithographic warblers from a painting by the noted German wildlife artist Gustav Mützel, from our 2-volume set of Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty, by the late-19th-century director of the Milwaukee Public Museum Henry Nehrling, and published in Milwaukee by George Brumder from 1893-1896. They are from top to bottom:

Yellow-throated Warbler (Setophaga dominica)

Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata) 

Cerulean Warbler (Setophaga cerulea)

Prairie Warbler (Setophaga discolor) and Palm Warbler (Setophaga palmarum)

Wilson's Warbler (Cardellina pusilla)

Mourning Warbler (Geothlypis philadelphia)

Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis)

Warbler Showdown Finale: Bracket 7

Red-faced Warbler (Cardellina rubrifrons)

IUCN Rating: Least Concern

Range: migratory; breeds in Arizona, New Mexico, and the mountainous portions of Northwest Mexico; overwinters in Southern Mexico, from Durango to Oaxaca, though it can be found further south at times.

Habitat: breeds in high elevation forests (2000-2800m), typically montane fir, pine, and open pine-oak. Will be found in a wider elevation range when overwintering (1300-3000m), but still prefers humid montane forests and pine-oak forests.

Subspecies: 3

Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis)

IUCN Rating: Least Concern

Range: migratory; breeds from eastern British Columbia all the way to Nova Scotia, as well as down the Appalachian mountain chain- even into South Carolina. Overwinters in mountainous regions of Columbia, down to Bolivia.

Habitat: Across all regions, prefers moist forests, especially at higher elevations. When breeding they can be found in a wide range of deciduous, coniferous, and mixed forests, so long as there is a moss layer and uneven forest floor. Overwintering habitat more varied, but almost always montane.

Subspecies: none

Pink-headed Warbler (Cardellina versicolor)

IUCN Rating: Least Concern

Range: resident (non-migratory); found in a small section of Chiapas in Mexico and the Guatemalan highlands

Habitat: pine-oak and montane evergreen forests, with a preference for the edges and secondary vegetation.

Subspecies: none

BOTD: American Redstart

Photo: Doug Greenberg

"Warblers in general are often called 'the butterflies of the bird world,' but the Redstart may live up to that nickname more than any other species. This beautiful warbler flits about very actively in the trees, usually holding its wings and tail partly spread, as if to show off their patches of color. At times it feeds more like a flycatcher than a typical warbler, hovering among the foliage and often flying out to grab insects in mid-air."

Portrait of a Common Yellowthroat by Georgie Alexon Via Flickr: This bird tested our patience on a sunny morning. He spent most of his time on the side of the path facing into the sun. After I almost gave up he flew to the other side of the path. Then it took time for him to pop up to a blade of marsh grass that did not have other reeds in front of him. He was busy singing for a girlfriend the whole day. The Common Yellowthroat was one of the first bird species to be catalogued from the New World, when a specimen from Maryland was described by Linnaeus in 1766. This photo was taken at Frank Lake which is south of Calgary, Alberta, Canada -Geothlypis trichas

Warbler Showdown; Bracket 7, Poll..? 6

Not actually a poll, but I figured it would be nice to show off a contestant. Canada Warbler was the odd-bird out in the random sort for poll match-ups, but I doubt they needed the assist- just look at that bird!
