Geocache Description:

This series is dedicated to Vermont's nesting wood warblers, a family of small North American songbirds, many of whom sport bright colors and sing songs that can be learned with patience and practice. They return from their wintering grounds just as the leaves—and insects—begin to come out.

Bay-breasted Warblers are very uncommon nesters in Vermont and are found only in the boreal woodlands of the Northeast Kingdom, which is at the southern edge of their breeding range.

The male's cap, throat, and breast are a rich, deep brown that is set off by a black "mask" over the eyes. Accents of white on the back of the head, lower breast, and belly make the bay-brown even more striking.

Abundance and habitat data are from Birdwatching in Vermont by Ted Murin and Bryan Pfeiffer.


FTF honors to Graffixx and Luna1975.
