Warbler Watch! Epic Quest to Find as Many Warbler Species as Possible

[@bopyranks]

Even though they're not resident where I live, the worm eating warbler was my nemesis bird for a couple of years. Most birders around here see them as they're pretty regular around migration, but I continuously dipped on them for a year and a half, until I finally got one at a local park this week. Such an amazing assortment of warblers in this video. Nice work as usual.

Love all these guys! That clip of the orange crowned warbler was extra neat, because there was also a gorgeous eastern palm warbler in the background! Two beauties in one shot

Awesome! I can't believe that you got to see a Golden-Winged, Worm-Eating, and Blackburnian Warbler! That's great! The best warblers I got this year was a Swainson's and Hooded in Tennessee and a couple Prothonotaries in Michigan! Keep making GREAT vids!

Love your warbler videos. Congrats on the great variety you captured. Without a doubt the Wood Thrush is the bird that has my favorite song. Keep up the great birding videos!

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Thanks! Wood Thrush song is definitely epic 👍

Great day!

Warblers are my favorite but this year I haven’t had very good luck finding certain species in my area.

[@g57462]

Many species, very good 👍 👌 😀

[@GratefulDeb270]

Thanks for a wonderful video! ❤

I feel like I never knew veerys excisted until a couple of years ago, it was like the last thrush I learned about. I have yet to see one but I love their song. Great WW guys keep up the fantastic work!

What a great bunch of birds! Spring migration warblers seemed kind of sparse here in TN but then a few warblers, including a Worm-eating Warbler (such a terrible name! Lol) arrived in my yard and have stayed the summer, which is really exciting. Great video! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.

Looks like you had a fantastic day! 😊

[@uscameloptics]

Fantastic video!!

[@douglaswetzel3221]

Love your videos guys, and I have one request. I know this video was entered on June 19th, but what are the actual dates of filming your videos. Thanks so much, and thanks for sharing all your fascinating birding trips/locations.

[@nikolaslastname9480]

As someone in the west. I am jealous haha. Keep making great videos!

[@rayettajones6441]

Thank you for sharing. I love the sound of the birds, but I don't know their individual sounds.

It takes a lot of practice but it is very possible to learn! There are plenty of good resources to teach you (including a few on this channel!), and the best way to hone in your skills is in the field

[@BadgerlandBirding]

You’re welcome! We do have some videos about learning songs and calls if you’re interested

[@clintrobinson1706]

Nice video, about time for another tournament???

[@pauraque]

Actually in terms of spring migrants I like empids better than warblers because of the instantly rewarding sensation of identifying them correctly said no one ever

[@BadgerlandBirding]

I was afraid I was going to have to ban you there for a second

I was just in Michigan visiting my sister and heard what Merlin ID as a pine warbler. I think I saw it after I tracked it down. But I’m not sure. I don’t really know what it’s supposed to look like. It wasn’t a Robin or grackle which were very common.

[@jacobmeier19]

Pine Warblers' calls are pretty similar to chipping and (especially) swamp sparrows. Both of those are various amounts of brown, gray, and reddish, so if the bird you saw had significant yellow at all, it was almost definitely a Pine Warbler!

I enjoy these little travelogs! Was this late April May timeframe?

[@glenngordon7898]

I will name my first born after you if you id this call heard in Racine WI. A mourning dove with a warble.
