The Blackburnian!
This 4/34 inch bird has a show of brilliant orange on his head and throat. I have seen him only a few times and yet his name is easily remembered by me. The Blackburnian stays high in the upper branches of trees and eats mostly insects and berries. They prefer coniferous and mixed wood forests. This bird winters in South America. During the summer months it spends its time in the northeast . We enjoyed the male and female coming to our water feature. Several different warblers visited our water within a few minutes of this little guy. An Exciting Moment!!!! Blessings.
