Florida warblers

Yellow rumped Warbler, Disney Wilderness Preserve, FL, Jan 22, 2013


Just back from a short trip down to central Florida.  I ran across a few warblers but nothing out of the ordinary.  The vast majority were either Palm (mainly western types) or Yellow rumped Warblers. I did also have Black and White Warbler, Pine Warbler and Common Yellowthroat.  Looking forward to their arrival up here.

Costa Rica warblers


Tennessee Warbler, Los Cusingos, Costa Rica, Dec 19, 2012
Chestnut sided Warbler, Rio Magnolia Lodge, Dec 24, 2012
It has been a long time since I have posted anything here but now that I'm recently back from Costa Rica I have something warbler related to post about.  I was there from Dec 15-Dec 26 and I managed to find a number of warblers including a few new ones for me.  I had a total of 14 species of warbler with four of them new to my list including Golden-crowned Warbler, Black-cheeked Warbler, Flame-throated Warbler and Collared Redstart.  I added three other warbler species (Prothonotary and Black throated Green Warbler and American Redstart) to my Costa Rica warbler life list, which now stands at 16.  My total life list for warblers now stands at 52.  Who knows what #53 will be and where I will find it?
