Warblers at Magee Marsh: Black-throated Blue Warblers

A few images from our last day at Magee Marsh

Male Black-throated Blue Warbler
















The sexes look so different that they were originally described as two different species.




All the ones we saw were males.  On their wintering grounds the sexes use slightly different habitats. The male is most common in forest at lower to mid-elevations, while the female uses shrubbier habitat at higher elevations.





Wishful thinking!  We haven't seen the sun all day.
