Canada Warbler / Cardellina canadensis


Yay, I actually managed to get a photo of a Warbler yesterday evening! Yes, it's poor quality, but I gave up on finding Warblers and especially on ever getting photos of them, a few years ago. Basically, I never go for walks any more, which is not good, but yesterday evening, I pushed myself out the front door and drove to Mallard Point in Fish Creek Park. People have been seeing all sorts of birds there recently, thanks to bird migration. Several friends had the same idea, too, and they were very helpful and patient, telling me where this tiny Canada Warbler and a Redstart female/juvenile kept moving to. As any birder/photographer knows, Warblers are not easy (almost impossible!) to see and photograph! A huge amount of patience is needed.
"A colorful, active warbler of northern forests, the Canada Warbler spends little time on its breeding grounds. It is one of the last warblers to arrive north in the spring, and one of the first to leave in the fall, heading early to its South American wintering grounds." From AllAboutBirds.

I also walked along the edge of the Bow River, just as far as the bridge, which is where I took the photo of a Yellowlegs, which I posted this morning. A Gull sp. was the only other thing I photographed. At least one Osprey was circling the river from way, way up.
