American Wood Warblers - Photo Gallery 1

Enough of the muted grays. The American Wood Warblers are the jewels of North America. My column on Friday in the Brattleboro Reformer focuses on this family, Parulidae. Here are a few photos from my recent trip. More photos will be with the column when posted on Saturday, plus another small gallery following. Please enjoy these birds - best of all, in the field.
